Saga 1 Episode 32 The Spider's Folly, Shootout at WacDonalds

## Story

[11/21/2015 7:44:31 PM] Father Handler: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpOSxM0rNPM )

Inside of a small family char-broiled diner, Daniel Handler sits down at a table close to the window of the diner. The sun peers in through the window while he eats the last few remaining pieces of a bacon cheeseburger and fries. Ketchup covers his plate, having a high fondness for the condiment. The pretty boy super soldier reaches at his large root beer and takes a sip from a straw. While doing this, he looks to his right to see Channel 52 News on.

Daniel rolls his eyes before turning back to face his food to keep on eating. The news talks about the same thing over and over. The world has gone to shit. People are turning against each other. And people who you thought you could trust are really the worst ones of them all. Daniel had come to learn that listening to the news is about as useful as a shit flavored lollipop.

It takes him about five more minutes before he finishes his meal. He wipes his face with a napkin before throwing it down on the plate. A blonde waitress comes walking by in a tight uniform that curves around her body. Her hands reach down for the plate to take it away from the table.

“Do you need anything else, Sir?” She asks with a bright smile.

“No thanks. Just the check.” He replies with a soft yet stern tone.

She nods her head and walks off to complete the task that he asked of her. While waiting, Daniel rubs his head with the palms of his hands, clearly stressed out about something. Ever since getting a badge, Daniel has worked himself to the bone to try and get some action. His body is fatigued slightly because of the constant work of overtime he has been putting himself through. But thankfully for him, his Super Soldier traits help keep him at the peak of his perfection for much longer periods of time than normal humans.

When the check comes, Daniel smiles at the waitress and his teeth practically twinkle in the sunlight. The waitress’ face turns red a little bit while giving a happy smile back. Once he looks down at the check, he sees the price and something else added onto the paper. On the top of the check is a name, Katie, and a phone number to follow it. Daniel leaves cash on the table, with a five dollar tip.

He places it into his pocket and begins to get out from his seated position. Standing up from the table he is seen wearing a light olive drab colored shirt with blue jean pants. There is a cybernetic watch on the left wrist, capable of keeping him in touch with Jayleen at any given moment. While walking towards the counter, he sees Katie walking in the back.

(Daniel: http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/ff487/wittygracie/DeanW/adc241c4.jpg )

“Have a great day, Sir.” She says while biting down on her bottom lip.

This brings Daniel to smirk slightly before he says, “I’ll be seeing you.”

Finally, he pushes the door open to exit the restaurant and being back into the warm of the bright sunny day. Daniel reaches down into his left shirt pocket to grab his box of cigarettes. Placing one into his mouth, he lights it up and quickly takes a strong drag. His lungs fill up with smoke before slowly letting the bright grey plume of smoke exit his body. With the cigarette in his hand, Daniel turns and begins to walk down the sidewalk with the thoughts of what he is going to do today on his mind.

Laying smack in the middle of the floor her hair splayed out under her, Syl watched as the small spider floated over head, she's had more... female customers come in more often now. She knew it was because of Lucian. The man was a pretty boy and his admirers were women of all ages, much to his embarrassment. Syl thought it was funny and would crack up laughing when he excused himself. She had this big goofy smile on her face now, unlike her normal silent emotionless self. Giggling on the floor Syl looked over to Lucian and shook her head; towards close friends, Syl shows a very different side of herself than when she is with a customer. With close friends, she is kinder and more open to them. She shares more opinions and thoughts with them. She felt comfortable enough to only do this with a few people, and only spoke with her real voice to two people on the planet, Lucian and Kin. She glanced up at the object of her thoughts and starting giggling all over again. Soon she managed to calm herself and sat up, her loose kimono sliding down one of her shoulders. She sat on the floor in a mess of gold, black and red fabric. She looked at the door and sighed. "Lucian its slow today you can take off the rest of the day if you want." Syl said keeping her eyes trained at the door. "Untie my obi, first please...?" Syl made it a habit to wear kimono but struggled with her own obi. She usually had a plant to it for her, but Lucian's human touch didn't ruin or rip the fabric. She pushed herself up and walked over to him, her feet moving silently across the floor. She turned around in front of him and pulled all of her hair over her shoulder, which surprisingly enough was a bit longer than Lucian's, his being to his lower back, Syl's was often down to her ankles.

[11/21/2015 10:28:12 PM] Calamari: Only having returned from his excursion with a small training issue with the leader of Zodiac Twelve a short time ago, the injuries he sustained were not something to scoff at. He had many shallow cuts and a decent number of deep gashes all over his body but what was bothering him was the adjustment of his sight to only having one eye currently (his left eye) so his depth perception wasn't well at the moment; Lucian was delighted to know he had the rest of the day off though his cheeks were still flushed from being stared at by the clientele of the shop. Due to having bad depth perception currently he got abnormally close to Syl holding his breath to avoid breathing on her even if his breath was minty fresh it would surely be awkward, he reached out slowly to avoid causing more pain than necessary his right arm being in better shape then his left  he'd do most of the unwinding of the obi from her waist with his right hand. This was a process much more difficult than just standing around the shop as he was doing beforehand with his wounds so the instant he'd finished the task he slowly lowered to the ground lying there. "Yup...thanks boss I'm just gonna nap here for a while."

In a different section of Kasaihana while that was going on there was a presence across the street from a char-broiled diner, it tracked one of the men featured on the news a "Daniel Handler" while this presence thought it was being quite stealthy it was actually sticking out pretty obviously with the way it was lingering on top of a building across the street in direct line of sight from the window infront of the target. Xiaolong Tenkei one of the few agents working for an organization unknown by the public going by the name Secret Sect there were only a handful of people outside of the Secret Sect who knew about it and they were sword to secrecy or suffer a grueling death as would their family and friends to prevent anyone from looking into the matter. Xiaolong who was standing atop a building in sight of Daniele (like the conceited nigga he is) thought he wasn't noticeable; he was wearing the uniform of the Secret Sect which was a full blue military style outfit with black boots the blue outfit was fitted with gold trim but unlike most military and law enforcement agencies the Secret Sect didn't have a logo or emblem. The closest thing to an indicator to what he belonged to was a rich gold colored scarf that was around his neck hanging off the shoulders infront of his chest which was long enough to sway three feet away from his body with an incoming breeze. Strapped to his back was one long weird looking weapon that wasn't found anywhere else but on him, it's functions were unable to be understood from looking at it and the complexity of its design as well as hidden mechanisms was difficult to fathom even how it worked without being given permission to examine it closely while its functions were to be revealed to them by none other than the owner. The color of the weapon was just as strange as its appearance with the metal of what looked like blades were a violet purple but the overall color of the gun's? frame was jet black with a white grip.

-continue next post-

[11/21/2015 10:35:38 PM] Calamari: Not only was this oddly placed figure keeping tabs on one of the heroes featured on the news but a certain individual working in the Tainted Rose, so he had a couple of things to handle within the time limit of today between observing and performing a meet n' greet. There was a small matter of meeting the leader of these heroes which he didn't receive coordinates for the location of currently so he was hoping the one known as Daniele would lead him to his leader.  This was the start of what was going to be a action filled day in the area of District 2 of Kasaihana city which was a blessing being as the diner and the Tainted Rose were only right down the street from one another making his job so much easier, hopefully this would prove to be true seeing as he didn't want to waste his entire day on these assignments because he also needed to meet his new partner by the end of the week if at all possible. It turned out that he was quite the busy man this number 1 agent of the Secret Sect.

[11/21/2015 11:13:09 PM] Father Handler: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXg1XgoQWag )

Walking down the street, it had been obvious to Daniel that someone was watching him. This isn’t the first time that something like this has happened so he knows just how to handle the situation. The man stood in the light of day, which makes Daniel sure that he won’t be trying to shoot him from that distance. This had clearly been a recon scouting mission for whoever this guy is.

Daniel smokes his cigarette while walking, looking around to see many people around him. Because of his role as a cop and his face exposed, he is unable to open fire and shoot this place to hell. He has to take this somewhere where the body count will be minimal to fight this guy. Whatever his mission is, it obviously isn’t for the greater good if he is stalking a cop.

His body movements are very normal, not giving a sign that he knows of the spy’s presence. His whole life had come with training in espionage, intelligence gathering and counter-intelligence tactics. Lion Corp wanted to create perfect soldiers and their methods sure did produce great numbers for them. His heart rate shows no increase or even his body temperature. If anything, he remains perfectly calm to the point that it would seem like he is relaxing on vacation.

About a block down from the diner is an old Wacdonalds fast food restaurant. Inside is just a cashier, the cook and the manager. With his initial scan he had been able to see that this building has the least amount of people inside of it; including woman to children ratio. Daniel walks into Wacdonalds by opening up the door. Once at the front of the cashier, he looks at the menu.

“I’ll take a Wacflurry please.” Daniel orders.

“M&M or Oreo sir?” The cashier asks.

“Orea is great.” Daniel speaks with a calm tone.

After paying, Daniel looks out towards the street, gathering more intelligence on the area. There are two entry points, a door on the eastern side of the building and the northern side. Windows are all across each direction except for the southern side. With that, Daniel slowly walks towards the southern edge where a table facing the wall is. Placing his back to the wall, Daniel slowly sits down. He waits for his drink to be made, but more importantly he sits somewhere where the man following him would not be able to have a shot. From this vantage point, the man would HAVE to walk in to get a good visual of him.

As he sits, he begins to fiddle with the watch on his arm. This causes some images to appear on the screen of the watch. A bright red sign flashes on the watch which brings Daniel to smirk. At this point, he waits as the afternoon is either going to bust and fail, or it will get rather interesting in this restaurant.

[11/22/2015 12:31:28 AM] Megitsune: Syl shook her head at Lucian, and felt her obi slip off her waist. She sighed and held the long fabric in her hands and made her way to the back of the shop to change, "I don't get why you don't get patched up Lucian." Syl yelled from the back. Syl was changing into a better outfit to go run errands with than a Kimono. She came bac wearing a Qipao that was blue, with Silver Snowflakes on it. She fiddled with her hair a bit and put it into a high ponytail. Nodding at Lucian she made her way to the door and propped it open a bit, letting a cool breeze come in. Sitting on the counter she rested her elbows on her knees and her face in her hands. Staring at the door she elected to remain quiet so Lucian can sleep.

(Is short sorry ^^;)

[11/22/2015 1:12:15 AM | Edited 1:17:40 AM] Calamari: It was made apparent that Xiaolong had been compromised by his arrogance once more this was why stealth wasn't his specialty. He wasn't the type of guy to beat around the bush he was all about handling situations directly just to get it out the way. Turning his back on the building across the street he took the stairway down taking his sweet time getting downstairs; with each step his long flowing golden hair bounced, the length of his hair was ridiculous as it was past his waistline. "This should be fun, I do love testing these humans." opening the door leading outside Xiaolong's silver eyes changed to blue by reaction to the sunlight giving him the appearance of a blonde human male but this deception was necessary to catch people slipping, while walking across the street his left hand reached up to adjust the collar of his shirt his right hand raising with an open hand to oncoming traffic causing it to come to a screeching halt. Not because of some ability or anything like that but on the basis nobody tries to hit someone with a vehicle on purpose of course it wasn't just one lane of traffic but the other while he was crossing into it and he did this until reaching the other side of the street. Since his target had went down the street into a Wackdonalds and he expecting a scene was on his toes ready to retaliate at a moments notice; he looked around for a moment till he spotted Daniel "Target confirmed. Confronting Target now, going to radio silence." he ordered a small muffin with saussage and egg dropping a few dollars on the counter before approaching Daniel waving casually with a toothy grin it was obvious that Xiaolong wasn't a run of the mill thug but he couldn't be trusted either. Taking a bite of the recently purchased food he was delighted new to experience fast food since his arrival to Kasaihana...

Down the road Lucian was in the process of falling asleep in kind of an inconveniant spot even with the thought of getting out of the way his body was just wasn't going to happen. As he slowly lost consciousness the last sounds he heard were Syl's foot steps going toward the door; assuming she was going out for a change in location he felt at ease thinking she could hold her own in case anything happened. With that he'd be out for the rest of the day unless something came and bumped him/hit him to purposely wake him.

[11/22/2015 1:44:19 AM] Father Handler: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTNuBaS2--4)

A few minutes pass and it had become apparent that this guy following him was going to make his way in. With his enhanced hearing senses, he hears the many cars honking their horns and slamming into their brakes while Xiaolong crosses the street. His voice becomes apparent while he orders. Before being in his sight, Daniel leans forward to grab one of his pistols from his back holster on his belt.

These pistols are High Military Grade Dual Pistols that he has donned the nicknames of "Jack and Jill." These pistols fire out .35mm Uranium R.I.P. rounds. The pistols are powered by an electomagnetic converter that helps add some kick to the backend of these bullets. These weapons work on speed and quick kinetic buildup. These bullets move with the speed closely accurate to the power behind a Barrett .50 Caliber Military Sniper. What makes this pistol special is the Magnetic Attraction with the Uranium rounds.

With his left hand, Daniel places his pistol on his lap. The body of the pistol itself is hidden underneath the table and out of sight from everyone. Daniel’s body would also not show signs of the weapon being weighted on his leg. The Super Soldier analyzes the area around him; getting a perfect field view of the restaurant. His brain works like a computer to see any angles and objects in the restaurant to perhaps use his Gun Kata on in case this situation does go south. There are no cameras in the building so that is one less thing that he has to worry about.

Now the time had come. The man that had been following him from his exit of the diner makes himself seen as he walks over to the table. As he comes to wave to Daniel, he simply glares at him while clinching his jaw.

Daniel never liked to be followed and this guy acting like it was all a game doesn’t make his mood any better. But years of military training has taught Daniel that acting rational and remaining calm is the best way to walk out of these situations alive. Once Xiaolong makes his way over to Daniel; the tension in the room grows exponentially.

“I’m not an animal…so I don’t appreciate having a TAIL…” He says as a sarcastic joke to Xiaolong “tailing” him to Wacdonalds. “So is there something I can help you with, Pal?” Daniel’s voice is stern and filled with a piece of anger at the situation.

[11/22/2015 3:52:18 PM] Syl: Syl sat on her counter and thought for a second, sliding off softly as not to disturb Lucian, she padded over to her shamisen and the cushion next to it and made her way back to the counter, putting the cushion on the counter she climbed back onto the counter and pulled the instrument into her lap. Her finger positioned themselves on it and she began to play 'Snow' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJI5gaWuf6w ). Syl's ponytail hung off the counter and some of it was resting just above the floor. As she played, she kept an eye on the door and Lucian in case any customers came in or he woke up. Syl's large pet spider came out and crept slowly across the slop towards Syl, once it reached her it climbed up the counter and latched itself onto her back, Syl grunted and sighed as the turned her head to look at the Ruby eyed creature. She leaned forward a bit, and continued to play. "You are heavy you know..." she spoke to the spider that was the size of a small dog clinging to her like a Koala.

[11/22/2015 8:11:34 PM] Calamari: "Haha..good one so let's get to business. I've been tasked with the mission to oversee you along with your comrades in the force, so take me to your leader if you don't mind I have things to do today." Taking a few more bites of his breakfast sandwich he tossed it on the table with an air about him like "yeah fucker let's get this over with." of course he needed an alternative in case the easy way didn't work. Xiaolong kicked off the floor of wackdonalds jumping back several feet with his right hand reaching over his shoulder grabbing hold of his strangely formed weapon pulling it from his back infront of his body with his right arm extended pointing the gun-blade at Daniel; his left hand came to grasp the lower portion of the elongated grip of the gun-blade pulling it to the left gliding it along the hidden track straight up to the second barrel attaching to it forming a second gun base like an 45 acp pistol the second blade on the left of the barrel to the S&W rotated around till it made a loud snap and crack sound attaching to the bottom of the acp pistol before disengaging from the main gun-blade. The blade on the right of the S&W had also moved to but it went around the right side of the barrel attaching in the same function to the bottom with a loud snap and crack, of course with that he pulled apart the conjoined gun-blades holding them infront of himself aimed ad Daniel.

"Be a good boy and make this easy. OH right....I'm Xiaolong Tenkei who I work for as well as my rank are classified so don't bother asking questions."

Of course everyone in the restaurant broke into a panic running for the exits screaming in fear, a shoot out may take place and nobody wants to die. Pushing and shoving people scurried squeezing through the crowded doorways while employees ran and hid in the back. How Daniel would handle the situation was completely up to chance but by appearances alone Xiaolong in his line of work knew it could only end in a chaotic scene.

[11/22/2015 9:28:54 PM] Uck You Gusy: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dugxZCgaJ5s )

Daniel doesn’t do well with taking orders from people he does not know. And this guy coming in here like some hotshot straight out of spy school doesn’t make the situation any easier for Daniel to just accept. His attitude is far from pleasant and it only adds to create a heavier tension in the room. Daniel keeps his eyes on Xiaolong as he talks though. It wouldn’t be obvious to see but Daniel is continuing his scan of the area that he had previously made.

Daniel doesn’t flinch at Xiaolongs jump to get five feet away from him. It was actually expected. Daniel’s right hand becomes placed on the edge of the table, his fingers resting underneath. Daniel looks down the barrels of each gun pointed at him. The mechanism that this guy uses for his rifle to become two pistols is very similar to the way his own pistols can fuse together to become his sniper rifle. This makes Daniel more upset knowing that someone else has a weapon design similar to his own.

"Be a good boy and make this easy. OH right....I'm Xiaolong Tenkei who I work for as well as my rank are classified so don't bother asking questions."

Daniel smirks while his eyes stare up towards Xiaolong. “I was never very good at being good…so let’s just skip the questions then.”

Without a second passing between his words and his next motion, all hell quickly comes to break loose. With his right hand, Daniel actually pulls the table out from the wall it is attached too! With the right hand that had been holding onto the table, Daniel utilizes his super soldier strength to achieve this feat. Xiaolong would see the table rip from the wall and quickly lift into the air. The table itself does not come in the form of an attack but rather a distraction itself.

The table is lifted into the air so it may block the vision that Xiaolong has for a brief moment. With the table in the air, Daniel’s body would quickly disappear from view. As a precaution to anticipating a shot, Daniel quickly pushes himself towards the left so that his body moves out towards the center aisle. While in this motion Daniel attempts to strike down this opponent before the situation grows worse.

While moving his body towards the center aisle, Daniel fires a round that is almost directly to his left. With only a twenty degree forward direction towards his own front, this shot is aimed towards the wall itself. On this wall is something that Daniel noticed in his scan from before. The bullet flies from the barrel of his pistol, and impacts into a metallic pole that extends from the ground up to the roof of the building. Hitting at just the right angle, his R.I.P. round actually deflects off of the surface of the pole and turns its direction to where it is now headed towards the right side of Xaiolong’s body.

(Similar too: http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11118/111180200/4512707-0717367540-pOXa6.gif)

The bullet that is fired would track towards piercing into Xiaolong’s third rib, impacting just below the bone. He aims below the bone because he is not currently trying to kill Xiaolong just yet. If this were to impact into Xiaolong’s body, his right lung would be pierced and quickly come to a near-fatal impact. The shot would create a sucking chest wound injury where Xiaolong’s body is only sucking in air from the right lung and unable to dispel the pressure that is building up. If not checked, Xiaolong would surely die. But Daniel chooses this route because fourteen minutes is more than enough time to interrogate him and save him with a needle-D. (Gotta love Combat Lifesaver Course XD) This is also only if the bullet hits its mark, if it hits lower or higher by Xiaolong’s own movements than he would be causing the bullet to pierce into his major nerves and arteries that travel through the ribs.

There is the possibility that his shot misses, which is what keeps Daniel on the offensive to try and finish this guy. After the first shot, his body continues its slide to the center aisle. By the time the shot is fired, Daniel would be able to see if it connected or not. If it connected, Daniel would react to the situation with a combat medic mindset. But if it misses, Daniel continues his mindset on putting this spy down. With the slide completing and landing on his left knee, Daniel aims his pistol with the iron sights aimed at the lower right portion of Xiaolong’s chest.

Daniel would pop off two more rounds back to back. These rounds would make their pathway in an attempt to try and rip through Xiaolong’s chest. Each R.I.P. round holds the stopping power of a barrett .50 caliber bullet; moving at speeds that normal eyes cannot keep up with. If these rounds hit, they would pierce in and out of Xiaolong’s body. This is where the R.I.P. rounds shine.

[11/22/2015 9:28:58 PM] Uck You Gusy: The invention of the projectile R.I.P. is related to the ability to control the way the projectile reacts as it passes through different mediums by control of the mfg process, geometry and the rate of failure at different zones along its axial length. More particularly but not limited to the ability to take the projectile and predictably have it stay solid in one medium but yet have the exact same projectile predictably react as a fragmenting bullet through a different medium without alteration of the projectile. The geometry at the tip of the projectile has much to do with the way the projectile travels through tissue. It has been long known in the medical industry that a trocar point penetrates the dermis layer more efficiently. Patents for trocars appeared early in the 19th century, although their use dated back possibly thousands of years. It is the use of this geometry at the front end of the projectile that does specific work at the point of entry from one system to the next. Dependent on the medium the projectiles geometry is designed to react differently. Imagine a Hole saw. The hole saw action that occurs at points of entry into different mediums reduce initial drag which allow the hollow cavity in the center of the projectile to rapidly pack. In the case of plywood the hole saw action cleanly cuts and packs the projectile with a slug that makes it solid thus allowing it to conserve more of its energy. This performance could prove to be very effective for law enforcement that may be in a situation where the target is behind such an obstacle whereas more energy will be carried into the intended target and not lost in the obstacle. In a fluid the projectile fragments. Due to the trocar geometry of each petal the resulting diameter of the fragmentation pattern is maximized. The trocar tips allow the fragments to swim through tissue / gel with less resistance thus conserving energy. The cross sectional thicknesses and geometries also create a full 180 degree flip halfway along each of the 8 petals path. The resulting shock wave and wound path is maximized. The result is devastating.

If the bullets pierce into Xiaolong’s body, he would feel the sixteen petals of Uranium shrapnel travel through each layer of his chest and right shoulder. The shrapnel would tear passed muscles, bone and cause the right arm to become immobile for this encounter. The two main stubs of the bullets would continue their paths, exiting the body from the back; causing a huge blow out exit wound. The bullets shatter through the windows of Wacdonalds before disappearing from sight. The shots from the pistol are loud enough to attract attention from people who are nearby. (Jamal)

After the two shots delivered by Daniel, if Xiaolong is not taken down by this combo strike of three bullets; Daniel resorts to trying to take advantage of the playing field. Daniel kicks off another chair that is anchored down by the wall. This causes his body to slide backwards across the tile floor. While sliding, Daniel fires a round into a pipe that is connected to the roof. This pipe had been marked as a compound that releases a white smoke when not in a controlled pressure. The R.I.P. round tears through the pipe with ease, causing the area in front of Xiaolong to be covered in a bright white smoke.

A wall of smoke is fired out from this pipe because of the R.I.P. round tearing holes all across the bottom of the pipe. This smoke would keep Daniel concealed from conventional vision. Using the concealment, Daniel spins his body to be behind cover of one of the booths in the fast food building. With his right hand, he clicks an activate button on his watch and his eyes quickly begin to glow with a bright white color. This is the activation of his enhanced contact lenses.

These are a pair of contact lenses that give one the ultimate detective type vision. They have a direct link with Super Computers across Kasaihana City, giving Daniel the ability to face recognition and match up with KPD files, birth records, ID photo's, and any form of physical identification. If there's a record on someone in government or local files, Daniel can match and identify them instantly. It also acts as a hub, allowing Daniel to process files by moving the on screen interface with brain signals (thought) and even read and access articles on the internet, at high speeds. It can also function as a blueprint construction device able to holographically making buildings and structures that only he can see or project holographically. They run off of brain synapses, and not traditional eletricity making EMP's useless. It also gives him an array of visionary systems that can range from inferred to thermal vision. (on bio)

For the concealment of smoke quickly covering the entire store, Daniel chooses to utilize his detective X-ray vision. This gives him the ability to see through solid objects. They show the skeletons of any and every person. Unarmed enemies will be blue while enemies with firearms will be red and enemies and weapons such as knives, bottles, pipes, and body armor will be highlighted in yellow. The weapon and emotion of the enemy will also be identified. It also shows nearby explosives.

(How he sees:  )

While being behind cover, Daniel looks down at his pistol and reads the number of rounds left in the magazine. Daniel is sure to keep himself quiet while in cover. His heart rate continues to remain calm and his breathing is not aggravated. He had been through many years of training in remaining quiet. With the aid of the gas pipe making heavy sounds as well, Daniel is able to keep his entire body hidden from Xiaolong on a conventional level.

[11/22/2015 10:43:13 PM] WacFlurry: ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbBlOfUlhUs )

As Syl played her stomach rumbled, she blinked and looked down at herself. "Sheesh..." She put the instrument down on the floor, and shook off the giant spider that latched itself onto her back "Get off..." she gingerly placed her shamisen on the floor with the neck resting on the side of the counter. Slipping off the counter, she hastily scribbled down a note to Lucian that she was getting food and would bring him back some, in case he awake before she returned. She slipped on White ballet flat shoes and stepped out of the shop, sliding the door closed all the way instead of leaving it ajar like she did before. Stepping out into the sunlight, she thought for a second about what she wanted and soon her body responded, she wanted Ice Cream, Syl had been craving Ice Cream for a while but never had the chance to go out and get it. And She wanted a WacFlurry, Syl smiled to herself and made her way toward the nearest WacDonalds, She noticed the cword of people stampedeing, in the opposite direction of where she was heading but she shrugged and continued her way forward, stampeding crowds aren't new in this city and she doubted they were running from a damn WacDonalds. Syl merely moved her way through the crowd, coming upon the restaurant, Syl stopped. Of course, of course she couldn't of gotten her damn Ice Cream today. She silently glowered at the two men inside and moved to press her back to the brick foundation of the place, out of the way of the window she frowned to herself...she only wanted Ice Cream..

[11/23/2015 5:36:22 PM] Calamari: Xiaolong's intelligence and ability to calculate trajectories at an alarming rate quickly went into overdrive with the sound of the metal pole ringing from the shot fired bouncing off of it, his eyes darted directly from the pole back to Daniel as he estimated the bullet roughly would hit somewhere on his right side. Stepping with enhanced speed to his left crossing his left arm to his right side placing the blade of his weapon in the path of the first shot but things had just got interesting with the sound of two more shots going off as Daniel slid into the center aisle but unlike the first initial shot he had no idea as to where they might strike because there was no bounce to them so he let his instincts for survival take control as he spun on his left foot after the initial step bringing his right arm around after the spin to once again aim the modified S&W 500 firing two shots of his own toward the ground infront of Daniel aiming to bounce them off the ground following a similar course of action himself. The three hundred gr. evolution flex tip rounds offering more penetration for a cleaner hit confirm as well as enhancing accuracy and flatter trajectories which would come in handy as his goal was to bounce these shots off the floor at Daniel's lower legs.

Of course his goal couldn't be to kill the man because he needed a lead to Kin the leader of the squad he's tasked with watching over but then again it looked like he wasn't going to come willingly either. A more forceful approach had to be taken, with the stopping power of the first shot Daniel took hitting the blade of his 45 acp custom causing the flat of the blade to definately hit against his side which confirmed his instincts suspicions that if he got hit by one of these it was going to be a devastating blow. With the two shots he'd just fired the gun-blade in his right hand was down to four shots left before he needed to reload, but that was fine as his acp 45 custom still had eight rounds still. The thought process of Xiaolong was only quickening with the way the battle was starting to unfold running through the thoughts in his head while he concentrated on the shoot out at hand he was calculating some of the situations that might occur next giving him a heightened ability to dodge in the next series of actions it was a weaker version of clairvoyance as he couldn't conclude what the future had in store for sure but what the possibilities were based on the current situation. It wasn't fully accurate even for a simulation of the mind because he didn't know the exact ways Daniel fought nor did he have knowledge on how his thought process worked either, so he had to estimate the best course of lethal and non lethal shot trajectories and a very limited amount of possible movements.

[11/23/2015 5:57:22 PM] Calamari: "My oh my, what a clever human you are." Xiaolong was letting his arrogance get the better of him (not that it's any different from the rest of his life.) as he calmly walked toward the door he'd entered from in the first place. This action of walking outside was more or less a form of body language challenging Daniel to an open shoot out like in the old west or in this instance a more modern shoot out of which gangsters typically had in the streets, with the skill Daniel had shown so far it wasn't so far fetched to think he had a means to possibly know Xiaolong's actions. Then again there's the possibility that he didn't so a secondary means to call him out was necessary as he fired a third round from his S&W 500 custom directly calling him out of the restaurant. Surely the gunfire was enough to scare off civilians nearby and make sure the ones in the surrounding area locked themselves inside; but there was one problem with the way things had turned out and that it had put the gun fight on a time limit being as surely someone had called the cops by now. This was definately going to ruin Xiaolong's fun if they didn't get to finish their shoot out at the very least let alone get a definate winner. Then again it would also make it quite convenient if he allowed himself to be brought to the precinct when they did arrive so he decided that'd be a good course of action but before back up arrived he was going to enjoy himself to the fullest with this Daniel guy.

[11/23/2015 11:24:31 PM] Uck You Gusy:  Xiaolong shows that he is not an everyday opponent that Daniel faces quickly into the fight. Using a similar technique of his own, Xiaolong shoots the ground to create a bouncing shot similar to Daniel’s first shot. This is a technique that would most likely take out weaker men. Daniel is a super soldier, built to handle and take care of such techniques with ease.

Daniel is able to think 9 times faster and utilize that much more of his mind than your average human for information processing and sorting, Daniel's mind is virtually a computer built for strategy and problem-solving, one that works at optimal ability even when under stress and fatigue as he apparently uses 90% of his brain (as opposed to the myth that the average human only uses around 10% of their brain). He is also ingenious in devising solutions against superior aspects of opponents, can observe and exploit, and can calculate distance, speed, and time at lightning speeds; his sense of timing is superb, bordering on perfection. One manifestation of this is his tactical genius; the ability to quickly process multiple information streams (e.g., threat assessment) and rapidly respond to changing tactical situations. Daniel also possesses an eidetic memory, meaning that he never forgets anything and has perfect recall. This enables him to remember any military tactic and apply it to any situation.

With the use of connecting his brain capacity and his enhanced Reflexes, Daniel is able to react to the bullets coming towards him with a natural muscle memory reaction. With years of combat under his own belt, Daniel knows that while already in a forward slide he has to react to this with that momentum. With his left knee sliding across the ground, Daniel instinctively begins wo spin his body around towards the right. In doing this, his leg positions change and he actually spins his body back up to a crouched position behind cover as he had previously planned. This allows the two bullets to pierce into the wall behind him.

Daniel’s face shows an expression of a scowl while his thoughts race through his mind. The battle had been all quick reflexes and smart plays by each fighter. The Super Soldier remembers and begins to strategize a plan of action against this new player. Still activating his Enhanced Contact Lenses, Daniel figures he should still give himself an edge in this battle. Then something comes to mind. While still behind cover, Daniel switches his vision on his Enhanced Contact Lenses.

While being called out in the open area, the change in visual views is made. The third gunshot shows him that this man is very cocky and confident in his own abilities. Growing up with Lion Corp, Daniel had grown accustomed to being underestimated. In a world of super powers, he lives for the fight of a Super Soldier being able to fight alongside and against them. With a small smirk on his face, Daniel begins to walk out of the second door in this place. This gives them both about a thirty foot distance away from each other once they both come to their standing positions. During his walk outside, Daniel reaches to grab his second pistol with his right hand. He always feels more comfortable when both hands have Jack and Jill instead of just one.

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fFl9I5ROfg )

Daniel walks into the center of the street with both guns in hand. His fingers are relaxed against the grip of the blade. Scanning the place, Daniel sees multiple light poles, street signs and parking meters. There are buildings on both sides of the street with people scared to death inside of their apartments. Xiaolong would be able to see the glowing white eyes that Daniel has, which would seem odd for a mortal to have. This may grow a little curiosity to who Daniel actually is.

While standing in the street, Daniel slowly slides his right leg back while extending his left leg forward. With his hands, he slowly raises them up with the barrels facing down towards Xiaolong’s body. In this, Daniel takes a signature Gun Kata style stance.

(How He Looks: http://www.ew.com/sites/default/files/i/imgs/021108//113823\_\_equilibrium\_l.jpg )

With this stance, Daniel is at the perfect position to react accordingly with his pistols. With his eyes focused on not only his target, but the surrounding area as a whole; he is more than react to react and hopefully obtain victory in this contest. His breathing remains calm and his brain working faster than a mile a minute. His mind comes up with hundreds if not thousands of probabilities and strategies to use while combating Xiaolong just by the data gathered from the short seconds they spent inside of the Wacdonalds.

With a confident smirk on his face Daniel says, “Well you called me out…Let’s see what you got…” And with that, he hopes that Xiaolong takes the bait.

[11/25/2015 12:16:40 AM] WacFlurry: Syl leaned her back on the wall, shards of glass sparkled at her feet. She heard the two men converse inside but couldn't make out what exactly was being said, she pushed herself off the wall and went to jump into the place through the window, but stopped as a blonde man walked out. He didn't notice Syl; so that left her with an element of surprise. Sliding quietly along the wall, she dashed out into the street. Stopping about ten feet from the unknown blonde, she spread her legs shoulder length apart. Raising her hands up in front of her, palms out Syl quickly turned her head in the direction of the restaurant. Concentrating her nano-machines in her hands, the flesh oh her palms began to push away the bone under, as if something was growing under her skin. From within Syl's palms, the they'd begin to form thin, wire like extensions. The tips of brown could just be seen in the center of her hands. "Stop moving, right now." she said softly but sternly. Her serpentine red eyes darting from the blond back to the other man inside.

[11/25/2015 1:18:04 AM] Calamari: "Hm? Yeah Daniel we'll settle this in a minute, now who might you be to give me commands mortal?" Deciding to continue confronting Daniel in a minute he turned around to addess the female behind him, low and behold it was the second errand he needed to run today and it came to greet him. "Splendid you are I believe the owner of the Tainted Rose yes? Hm...can't quite remember the name though I really shoulda read the file but hey whatever I know your face." Turning back to Daniel then to Syl it was quite a pickle he was in I mean an enemy on both sides? Hell he was definately talented but this looked like it was gonna be a pain in the ass, his left and right arm raised facing the S&W 500 custom at the young woman and the 45 acp custom at Daniel ready to pop off whenever. The problem was that Xiaolong was extremely lazy despite his talent so until pushed to his absolute limits which was definately a feat in itself considering the fact he has full access to his entire mind making his thought process' speed unable to be calculated so far. He himself didn't even understand the way his mind worked the way he'd worded it in the past is that thoughts race through his head and he simply just knows whatever his mind comes to think about.  This also contributed to an increased reflex speed where the average person is about .3 seconds, many trained or combat specialists can reduce that or are born with the time of .1 second so more or less people like Daniel and Xiaolong had a reflex of .1 second or faster which is how they're able to dodge and adjust their attacks in the midst of combat on the fly. Just because the body is able to intake the knowledge accurately formulate what to do (the action of reflex) at such a high speed doesn't necessarily mean that their body is capable of moving fast enough to actually get out of the way or adjust their attack pattern in time. Xiaolong knew for the most part the extent of his own abilities and had full faith he could change mid battle to fit the scenario but the problem was he didn't know the full abilities of Daniel or Syl who's name he currently is unaware of so he played the field with caution slowly lowering his arms to his sides letting the tension in his muscles ease up. It wasn't that he was giving up or complying with Syl he was merely letting the unnecessary tension in his muscles to fade allowing for instantaneus reactions with the least resistance, cutting down on the need to let his muscles relax and then contract again essentially taking out the first step to relax he gave his body  a little extra speed to react with. This was the strange way he fought it was a natural style or stance that leads to easy flow of movement in times of danger. It was this natural calm demeanor that allowed for his easy ability to counter his opponents in a fight, what looks like skill acquired through training was just a natural gift he was born with that natural speed of his reflexes was due to the potential he was born with and because of the way his personality was just that relaxed way of cruising through life full of confidence. Sure it had it's bad points such as leading him into becoming a conceited, arrogant, sadistic, cruel, rude, person but he was good at what he does. He had to be if he was to lead the life along the same guideline as his father did being the other half of Hypnos, then he would become the other half of Lucian who was talented in battle not through natural potential but through effort and training. They were two sides of the same coin both were opposites in the way they were mentally and the same goes for how they became so good in battle but what was the same was the fact that they were even in combat level. This was the life Xiaolong had been destined for since birth the two of them could not run from their fate.

-continue next post-

[11/25/2015 1:29:03 AM] Calamari: "Tch!" He sucked his teeth pretty annoyed at how the situation unfolded but it couldn't be helped he guessed. In this relaxed natural stance he was ready to do any number of things to counter and crush the first person to show signs of aggression. His mind starting to work faster than he could honestly keep up with on a conscious level it was starting to give him many images in his head simulating different methods of how he'd react to Daniel if he persisted in the pursuit of conflict and on the otherhand less images of simulations involving Syl came to him due to the overall lack of knowledge on her other than the fact she owned a shop called the Tainted Rose where as Xiaolong knew for a fact Daniel was trained he just didn't know the full extent of his physical abilities. This gave him a kind of comfort when dealing with Daniel because they were similar; the unknown factor of Syl was what had most of his attention which was shown in the positioning of his head which was mostly turned to Syl making sure to keep Daniel in the corner of his right eye as he'd moved toward the side of the street to allow the peripheral vision on Daniel.

[11/26/2015 2:41:52 PM] Uck You Gusy: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TU6lR1jkHnI )

A strange turn of events takes place when a female comes to make her impression felt on this fight. She quickly tries to take control of the situation with a command, which Daniel does not take very well. He looks over to the female with his Enhanced Contact Lenses, using the vision scale of Movement.

This form of vision gives Daniel the ability to see forms of movements as they happen, giving him a much faster reaction time than his already enhanced reflexes give him. By staring at a target, he is able to see the very movement of their body just as they make it; making him see things before they are even done. The plan that he had is now put on hold because of this female entering the fray. But while looking at her, he can see as clear as day what is within her.

With the vision he has, he can see the millions if not billions of nanomachines that work inside of this female’s body. By that alone, he knows that he is now dealing with a Nano-Meta and that this can get very dangerous. Through his years of working with military groups and even becoming the Super Soldier that he is today, he has gained a vast knowledge of the people of this world. Most seem to lean towards using an energy known as “chi” but there are those who choose to use Nano-Machines as a way to further progress their physiology.

One thing that remains constant with Nano-Machine users in his experience is that they can be very dangerous and very unstable. Their bodies are usually never used to the power increase, giving them a loss of control. This may not be the case for this female though, which also gives Daniel a sense of understanding her. Those who can actually control the Nano-Machines inside of them, grow much stronger in a much shorter time. Their already dangerous abilities can be amplified just by being able to control it. This does not sit well with Daniel in this fight.

His eyes dart between the two, Xiaolong and the Nano-Meta. Both are dangerous but it seems that perhaps the enemy of his enemy is a friend in this situation. With scans so far it shows that Xiaolong has not dipped into any energy source and obviously not having any nano-machines within him. Daniel has deduced that Xiaolong is very talented by the way he moves, but leans on a very cocky and confident way of fighting. That is even backed up by the way he relaxes his muscles and is just too laxed for any situation like this in the eyes of a normal person.

Moving his fingers slightly against the triggers of his pistols, Daniel thinks about the thousands of outcomes that can be at play here. It is clear that the Nano-Meta is not here to play around. A decision must be made from this now, valuable seconds are lost the more they all analyze the situation. This is where Daniel comes to make the first move to get a better handle on things. Looking at Xiaolong, he slowly lowers his pistols and begins to break words with him.

With a somewhat resentful tone he begins to say, “I don’t like you, guy…But it is clear that we have a better chance of finishing out fight if we handle this chick over here.” Daniel then slowly turns to face her. “I prefer not to hit women…but a Nano Meta like yourself can be an exception to that rule.” Choosing now to focus on the girl, he ends his conversation with, “So what do you say, Goldie Locks…You in for an Epic Team-Up before we keep shooting at each other?”

[11/26/2015 8:58:50 PM] WacFlurry: Syl remained quiet as the one brunette lowered his guns slowly, this only caused Syl's body to tense up more, furrowing her brow and pulling her shoulders tighter together she stared at the both of them, her eyes shifting from one to the other quickly. Then the brunette spoke up, and Syl's eyes settled on him  “I don’t like you, guy…But it is clear that we have a better chance of finishing out fight if we handle this chick over here.” He turned to look at her, and she didn't like the look she got. “I prefer not to hit women…but a Nano Meta like yourself can be an exception to that rule.” He continued on before she could retort. “So what do you say, Goldie Locks…You in for an Epic Team-Up before we keep shooting at each other?” 'Well fuck.' Syl thought to herself, this was going to be a lot harder than it had to be, but she needed to act now before the blonde agreed. Using the middle of the palm, Syl generates an brown-hued tendril of bark with small thorns, about as thick as someones forearm, meaning about an inch thick. That ensnares and immobilizes the opponent as the tendril wraps around their body. The end of it remains attached to Syl's hand, allowing them to control the path of the tendril before and after capture, the small thorns on the tendril dig into the flesh of what ever it's caught, making escape difficult. The tendril can connect with another one of itself, if both have captured a target, and bind them together. They flew out in a sharp, erratic Zig-Zagging pattern, as they flew smaller versions of the thorn grew from the main tendril. This meant as it headed towards them at say; the speed of a car, it'd be expanding into smaller tendrils that moved in the same erratic pattern as the first. Made even worse by the fact that they couldn't crash into each other. the one coming from her right hand went into the store and attempted to grab and wrap around the man inside, and the left one headed right for the blonde attempting to do the same. As Syl was doing this she began to back up slowly, causing the base of the vines to follow her hands in such a way the attacking end was unaffected by her movements.

[11/26/2015 10:03:37 PM] Calamari: Before Xiaolong could even begin his response it seemed this woman was bright and quick to take advantage of a situation. The incoming web of bark and thorn presented quick the challenge was in evading the branching effects of the approaching vines. Rather than use words he'd speak with his actions as he hopped back several times in the direction of Daniel of course with his natural way of fighting his reaction speed to these vines was near instantaneus. With each hop back he spun in a full circle swiping his gun-blades slashing at the incoming vines breaking them as they came in of course he expected this course of action to prove useless so with each slash of his weapons he'd squeeze the triggers with his index finger opening fire "BANG...BANG" the second series of shots were back to back nearly in the same second "BA-BANG!" just as he was about to hop to Daniel's left side he repeated with one final spin bringing his two arms together forming a side by side twinbarrel gun-blade as the acp was starting to integrate itself back into it's original position in the frame of a single gun-blade he pulled both triggers "BANG!". Sliding to a stop next to Daniel he sucked his teeth "Tch!" the S&W 500 was now out of ammunition from those last three shots and he only had about five left in the 45 acp custom. The first two shots were spaced apart purposely aiming for the vines to clear a path toward Syl which had the most obvious reason, the second two shots were aimed in the exact same location as the first two in the attempts to pierce further into the thicket of a web with his large rounds. With the final and third series of shots they were still following the same trajectory as the first two aiming to pierce all the way through and hit this powerful woman clear in the center of her palm trying to disrupt the manipulation of the thicket.

The reason for this was simple if he couldn't break the control she had on this web it was certainly going to be his and Daniel's undoing. Especially in his own case as he was running low on ammunition then predicting that he more than likely wouldn't have the luxury of time to reload he'd be pushed into close quarters combat. Of course as bad as that analysis was or seemed to normal people Xiaolong honestly didn't care as he'd successfully defended with a form of offensive blocking of the thicket and even made a means to counter-attack. Xiaolong was bordering on the edge of insanity or delusional with how conceited he was in his own abilities the situation was favoring Syl for sure no doubt about it, but he didn't care Xiaolong felt he could still beat her by himself without even trying the only reason he opened the path for Daniel was because it'd form a bond perhaps and make it easier to get to Kin Tasanagi his true target.

-continue post-

[11/26/2015 10:18:37 PM] Calamari: Still he was as calm as ever relaxed as if none of this was going on. From here on in though despite what he felt his subconscious mind knew better so his body acted of its own accord and lowered flexing his hand grasping the grip tighter this action really did escape him for a moment. It only registered that his body's instincts were telling him he was uncomfortable because he grasped the grip so tightly that his hand became clammy, his hand was sweating even so Xiaolong didn't understand why his hand was sweating in his mind he still was relaxed and didn't care at all about the circumstance. His natural way of fighting from a neutral stance to a much more aggressive low baring stance it was obvious his next course of action was going to close the distance on Syl once he'd confirmed Daniel's decision to either take the path or leave it untraveled, it honestly didn't matter in either case because Xiaolong was going to go in anyway. His unnatural skill with the gun-blade left him with a couple hidden skills in his arsenal that he'd saved for a rainy day, the question was if Syl was going to get hit by one today.

[11/27/2015 9:14:31 PM] Uck You Gusy:  Things quickly pick up outside of Wacdonalds with this Nano-Meta utilizing her powers to create wooden-like tendrils to fly out of her palms. Daniel had seen something similar to this kind of power back in his military days. Tendrils had seemed to be a very common attack scheme to come from people, which makes Daniel’s reaction much easier and more fluid. While the tendrils fly towards him, he uses his enhanced condition to dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge the many tendrils coming towards hime.

While this is happening, Xiaolong comes to try and complete a combo of his own to create an open path for Daniel to run through to come up with his own attack. If everything went to plan, Daniel’s eyes would dart back and forth between the many moving targets. Because of the overload of movement, Daniel has returned back to the X-ray vision he had before. This allows him to continue to see the locked targets of this Nano-Meta and Xiaolong. The tendrils are highlighted in a bright yellow color which allows Daniel to have an upper hand on the location of these tendrils as they come towards him.

Daniel uses the straight path he has to the female to attempt an attack of his own. With his two pistols in hand he realizes that one gun has three rounds less than the other. Each magazine holds fifteen bullets and his left hand pistol is down to twelve. This would not be much of a problem for the plan of action hat Daniel comes to utilize.

While charging at the female, their distance of ten meters is quickly closes within the blink of an eye. Being the pinnacle of the human body, Daniel is able to run as fast as 40mph with ease. His body could seem like a blur to this female if her eyes are not trained to see movements of this caliber without needing to focus. Once he is within a few feet from her, Daniel would attempt to strike her down.

While closing the distance, Daniel would leap off of his left foot to get into the air. While doing this, he turns his body with enough torque to swing his right leg up towards the females body. In the motion of a backflip, Daniel attempts to smash his right foot into the nose of the girl in front of him.

(What the kick looks like: https://33.media.tumblr.com/d900ffd0dddea3dd97ca8431cdd7efc0/tumblr\_mv8zad9yBL1r3maj7o1\_500.gif )

With the kinetic buildup of Daniel’s body, this could would feel like its coming at her at over 65mph! Her nose would shatter and initially her body would fly backwards almost ten to fifteen feet because of Daniel’s enhanced strength. If it connected, Daniel’s forward motion would actually come to stop because of the impact; forcing his body to continue its backflip where he is positioned.

With his body in the air, he points both barrels of his pistol at the female while continuing his motion. Without any hesitation whatsoever, Daniel attempts to put the girl down. Knowing how dangerous these Nano-Metas are, Daniel is not playing any games here. Pulling down on both triggers, Daniel fires one round from each pistol to be aimed towards the female! Both rounds are aimed to pierce into the female’s heart if she does not react quickly.

Because of the power within these pistols, mimicking that of a Barrett 50 Cal. sniper, the impact of these rounds would rip right through her small frame like paper. If the impact of each round pierces into her heart, the R.I.P. rounds would do their job and completely rip her heart into smithereens the instant the shrapnel flower blades are released.

After firing both rounds, Daniel would land on his left knee with the two pistols in front of him in the form of an X. His arms cross one another in front of him, taking another Gun Kata stance. His guard is still up as he keeps his mind focused on the fact that this may not either have killed her, stopped her or if he needs to keep his mind focused on Xiaolong again. His contact lenses help keep his head on a swivel, able to alert him of any incoming attacks after he attempts this combo.

His mind continues to work on both defensive and offensive strategies to get himself out of this situation both alive and victorious. With his enhanced senses he is also able to hear sirens in the distance. By his calculations they are only another two minutes out from having this place surrounded. This doesn’t sit well with Daniel knowing that with those two minutes, this would have to be quickened otherwise there would be no intel gained by meeting Xiaolong.

With all of this on his mind, one would believe that Daniel is feeling nervous or frazzled. But they would be wrong. Because of his years of experience, Daniel is still calm and his heart rate remaining the same as it was when he was in Wacdonalds. His will is far stronger than the average fighter so he is able to do the acts that he does without hesitation or second guessing. This allows him to keep himself calm even when the situation gets as outlandish as the one he is currently involved with.

[11/27/2015 10:43:08 PM] WacFlurry: Syl disengaged the vines from her palms and lets them continue on their path, she flung herself to the side as the bullets shot by Xiaolong wizzed by her, is she had been a few seconds slower she'd of had no hands left. Quickly pushing herself back into a standing position. Out of the corner of her eye she saw movement, she froze;

Her red eyes darted towards the brunette, who started running towards her, because she had originally been backing up as soon as he moved towards her Syl panicked and leaped backwards. Putting more distance between them and her, but he kept coming. Landing back about 20 more feet gave her a few more seconds to think. Quickly she inhaled and exhaled shutting her eyes, and as she exhaled she exhaled a cloud of spores that radiated within a 5 foot radius around her.  Syl's body and any plant she grows are always secreting tiny spider like spore that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Anyone within a mile of Syl is breathing in these spores Syl can these use the spores to activate her other abilities, such as Illusion Generation, growing plants from inside the spores or making them explode. In combat it takes 1 post for Syl to activate her spores in a person giving them 1 post to get rid of them by either extreme heat or extreme cold.

Before she even reopened her eyes she heard two bangs that she figured for more gun fire, As she reopened her eyes she saw him land out of what looked like to be a flip, she clenched her fist and literally with no hesitation she pushed off sprinting, she heard he bullets wiz by her and it took all she had to not flinch in fear or freeze up. They were using guns she NEEDED to keep moving or be shot, she needed to keep THEM from getting a clear shot at her. She ran in a wide arc making sure to keep at least 20 feet between her and Daniel as she made her way to Xiaolong, Gathering her nanomachines into her back she leaned forward and kept low to the ground as she rushed Xiaolong. She figured if she got in close the other wouldn't risk a shot at him and the blonde wouldn't be able to shoot at her.

[11/28/2015 8:18:29 PM] Calamari: "Hm?" Xiaolong simply observed the entire turn of events between Syl's briar of a web still push forward if only for a short time not that it mattered considering he'd already shot a path not only for Daniel to rush but the path started from Xiaolong's position so he needn't actually move from where he was. Aside from that there was no real problem for him to be concerned with which gave Xiaolong's subconscious to recollect and follow the same train of thought as his actual mind was. So now that his body was back to relaxing and not being on edge his right hand had ceased perspiring so he stood where he was with his feet placement was odd, his right was brought behind the left the toe of his shoe to the heel of left foot. The reason for such was entirely unknown for the time being to others but Xiaolong's reason for this foot placement was for a specific purpose such as shifting the position of his body either to face left or right lining up his toes with subtle movements of the left foot when deciding the direction. With that being his first line of defense the next level of combat was going to develope as he'd released his inner restraints to unleash a torrent of light and dark energy; it was the quintessence force also known as the ability to produce limitless amounts of energy. The energy was dwindling in volume but its intensity was sky-rocketing, with each passing moment the amount of energy continued to shrink as he refined it into a more devastating force and while he was doing this with the energy he'd produced his blue eyes had changed to silver. The divine blood of his father Thanatos was the cause for the change as well as the overwhelming amount of energy he was capable of, as the son of death it was obvious that what was to come next was certainly going to reflect it. This small amount of intensified energy lined the twin blades of his weapon the dark and light energy reflecting off the purple metal brightening it's appearance and then causing it to darken greatly.

[11/29/2015 2:26:51 AM] Uck You Gusy:  Because Syl backed away from the kick (And didn’t mention that the kick even happened), Daniel uses this as a chance to fix his plan of action. The spores that Syl releases are indeed unseen by the naked eye. Thankfully for Daniel, his enhanced contact lenses are more than enough to see the spores on that microscopic level. Realizing that the spores are obviously not good for his own immune system, Daniel quickly clicks the small button on his right glove. This button instantly allows the bright red vibranium helmet to appear in his hand. The helmet retracts from the glove as a high end Vibranium design that had been originated from Yun Corp.

(How the helmet appears: http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/03210/ezgif\_com-resize\_3210650a.gif )

The helmet begins to fall to the ground. That is where Daniel uses his right foot to kick it back up into the air so the helmet can flip onto his head. The metal insides grip onto Daniel’s skull and quickly attaches to his body and the rest of the chest armor that he is wearing. This creates that tight vacuum seal to keep outside pathogens from affecting him. The helmet HUD begins to quickly flash on, and Jayleen’s A.I. body appears on the left side of the HUD.

Within this helmet, the whole front visor is a special alloy created in the same form of the Lion Corp helmet that allows him to see as if there is no metal helmet in front of his face. This face plate is also filled with its own circuits to help in any situation. The outer layers of the helmet is made from the sleek Vibranium metal. This is the outer layer, with a thin lead layer underneath to block out being scanned by other sensory systems. This also keeps him from being affected by all forms of radiation. But to not weigh him down, this is not a thick layer of lead. Underneath the lead is a skeletal structure of a durable Titanium Alloy. The outer edging sides are actually satallite devices that help for high levels of communications. It comes in the form in a magnetic soundweaver. This allows the sounds around him to become stronger and easier to hear. This also allows for a stronger connection to any devices that can create and relay a signal. This can create a jammed signal for any electrical devices within a one mile radius. There is a signal within those one mile to allow Jayleen access to any and all electronic devices and technology. The helmet act as a radar device, constantly sending out the signal and retreving the IP and Coding addresses for whatever technology is in the one mile. The process of the radar pulse only takes milliseconds to go out with the one mile. This not anything uncommon with high grade military radar devices that catch incoming rocket and missile fire. To help keep him safe within the suit, the helmet also has carbon-fiber placements around the forehead, skull and chin to make sure his head stays in place and is also shock/impact proof. Outside of the normal components of the helmet, this newer helmet features a heavier voice changer. Instead of the voice just becoming more mechanical, Daniel's voice becomes deeper and unnoticeable to actually be him.

After having the helmet rested on his head, that is when he fires both shots and misses. (Because Syl extended the combo by seconds, Daniel is able to accomplish this act and continue with the time line of her post.) At this point, Syl is charging towards Xaiolong with the nanomachines focused towards her back. This makes Daniel smirk underneath the mystery of his helmet.

“Jayleen…” Daniel says with a calm and confident tone. “Shut her down…”

And with that, the extremely powerful Artificial Intelligence attempts to hit Syl with something she most likely had never felt before in her life.

[11/29/2015 2:26:53 AM] Uck You Gusy: Jayleen was designed to infiltrate computer systems and she is excellent at the task. She has become so intelligent that she understands advanced technology far more than most humans and even other forms of technology themselves. She is capable of storing large amounts of data within her holographic appearance, hiding it in the microscopic lines of code that made up her visual form. Even when she is in the Data Crystal Chip, microscopic lines of code are running through the holographic "filling". Jayleen can nest any form of organic substance or creature onto oneself like a leech. Jayleen use this as a means of attack be attaching to the opponent and acting like a leech to drain their life force or other energies. Jayleen can dock any form of devices, machines and vehicles to themselves in order gain that machine's abilities and attributes. Jayleen can add any sort of attachments to their weapons to either enhance their capabilities or use more than one attack that it's capable of. Jayleen can negate any sort of powers that involves technological aspects, cause power drainage of technology, EMP, system errors or computer virus infections, etc. Jayleen can produce a surge of electromagnetic energy, which can disrupt all technology nearby. The pulse may come from the user's hands or even from their entire body. Jayleen can control computer viruses and malware, including computer viruses, Trojan horses, computer worms, malware, spyware, adware, ransomware and other kinds of things harmful to the computer or other technology that can be put under virus. Jayleen is capable of spreading their virus and infecting a numerous amount of technology, allowing them to bend technical appliances to their will. Once the technical appliance has been hi-jacked, it is merely an extension of their control. Users are also capable of giving themselves a digital cybernetic body for physical purposes. This also means that Jayleen can drain/erase computer data. Jayleen can download any sort of energy, data, matter, etc. that she may want from anywhere and nowhere. She can download new materials and new information. Jayleen can manipulate the binary visible computer information known as data allowing them to collect information about most businesses and organizations and their operations and do amazing things to or inside computers such as hacking and manipulate computer programs. Jayleen can even control the data they collect from living beings, inorganic compounds, and even energies. Jayleen can program a certain function in others to change their pattern of behavior or take control of them. Those who are themselves machine may transmit their own programming into other machines in order to continue living. This power is considered stronger than some aspects of Technology Manipulation in controlling other machines, because user does not have to constantly maintain their control, they just have to program them to follow their orders. Jayleen cannot be detected by any technological systems, rendering security systems useless. The ability to transcend the physical form and exist within technology (such as computers and robots). If one should possess this ability, they may be able to switch robotic avatars at will or be immortal so long as there is a technological host to control. Jayleen has the ability to identify any threats from anyone or anything by means of certain designations. The purpose of the power could either be a protection to oneself or for the others. Some users identifies a threat from someone or something through colors. This is added on to Jayleen as the HUD of the Nano Suit acts with the Early warning system. This gives Daniel a chance at Two Different Early Warning Systems.

With this strategy Daniel attempts to have Jayleen shut all of Syl’s nano machines that reside in her body. Because nanomachines are bio-organic, Jayleen is more than capable of connecting to Syl’s frequency and attach herself to each individual Nanomachine to shut her power down completely. If Syl has no form of defense against the internal breach of Syl’s systems; it is more than possible that SYl would not even feel Jayleen invading her nanomachines.

The effects of this invasion would cause Syl to lose all abilities that she gains from the nanomachines the moment that Jayleen invades her body. The feeling of losing her abilities would be felt the instant that it occurs. No matter how long it takes, Jayleen would continue her onslaught until she is successful in shutting Syl down.

If successful, Daniel would slowly begin to walk towards Xiaolong. “This will be more than enough for us to take her down, Goldie Locks. She won’t be firing off any of those plants anymore…”

[12/1/2015 11:45:48 PM] Sera: As Syl ran towards Xiaolong, she felt weird...like her energy was draining out of her. She stopped running, and tried to use her hair, it didn't move. Her eyes widened as she held her hands out and tried to manipulate a a plant to grow from her palm. That didn't work either. “This will be more than enough for us to take her down, Goldie Locks. She won’t be firing off any of those plants anymore…” Syl hissed, and looked up at the one talking. "What did you do? WHAT DID YOU DO?!" She screeched at him. Fear set in quickly after that, she knew without her powers there was definitely no way she was surviving this fight, even with her Martial Art. She took a step back and glanced from one to the other her mind racing, maybe if she ran they'd go back to focusing on each other, so she turned her back on Xiaolong and ran, but as she ran every few seconds she'd turn her head to check behind her to see if they followed or or if she'd even escape.

[12/2/2015 12:20:05 AM] Calamari: Thinking of how easy it really was to deal with her at this point it was just a matter of how to do it. So many different methods to torture someone before finally bringing their life to an end but he'd had an idea one of his favorites came to mind. Shifting his feet to point in Syl's direction he held up his right arm aiming directly for the back of her left knee the energy lining the twin blades of the gun-blade had been dispersed seeing it was no longer necessary so Xiaolong popped off all three of his remaining shots back to back. The first aimed directly for the back of her knee, the second aimed for the ground under her foot as she ran aiming to bounce it up through the ball of her foot and the third shot aimed at the left heel. Aiming to more or less make escape difficult or near impossible while delivering as much pain as he could with the three shots and considering she was running trying to make an escape it'd be quite the painful experience to continue on the path for escape.

After releasing these three consecutive shots Xiaolong motioned his hand over the shoulder to place the weapon into its holster on the back of his military jacket. His eyes wide filled with excitement he was like a child on christmas eve anticipating the upcoming gift that was to be her screams, he took a quick breath gathering his cool. "This is all you, I believe I've done my part."

[12/6/2015 4:37:39 PM] Keyo: ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vo-83HjeGEs ) " The itsy bitsy spider... went up the water spout. Down came the rain... that washed the spider out. Out came the sun... that dried up all the rain... and the itsy bitsy spider... went up the spout again...." Syl... would feel a coldness take over her body, as she continued to bleed out. It's surely be her end soon enough, death had a way of embracing you. But... the cold sensation wouldnt stay long as a warmth begin to shift and mold its way in the depths of Syl's chest. " Little spider, little spider... you are fercious. And you are strong, and you are quiet. " Said a slithering like voice, that sounded like it had been wrapping Syl up in a tight... yet warm and embraceful grip. " But there is none more stealther... more deadily... then the snake. " She said whispearing into Syl's ear. " Come now... no need to worry child. I am giving you life. I've been watching you young one... i've been watching you. Decendant of Gaia. Time... to become more." She said in Syl's ear before Syl's skin began to break, and crack! She had been decomposing at that very instant and death was on its way surely enough. And as it did, she would have finally began to decay before soon dispersing into an explosion of dust! The dust was soon blown away and into the wind

[12/7/2015 11:54:00 PM] Tayto: ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZXQ4LoQBbc )

Syl heard the loud bang, and knew she was fucked before she felt the pain. The 1st bullet ripped through the back of her knee, spraying blood and bits of bone on the ground in front of her; Syl let out a screech of pain. It was a primal screech uttered by those who's mind have become primal with fear and pain. Time seemed to slowdown as pain shot up her leg from her wound. But another, flying through the bottom of her foot, and then another hitting the back of her ankle...in her Achilles tendon. The pain and burning was so intense from the first wound the second and third almost didn't register. She fell forward onto the ground and whimpered,  the pain making thinking straight impossible. She grit her teeth and tried to pull herself forward as she looked back at her leg, it was completely destroyed. She turned her head away from her eviscerated leg. She felt blackness eating at the corners of her vision as she struggled to stay awake. Attempting to pull herself forward with the little straight she had left Syl's upper body collapsed. She gave into the blackness eating at her vision as she closed her eyes, her black hair splayed out over her back ad her once blue dress stained with blood.

She felt like she was wandering, floating in the dark. "Is this what it's like to be dead?" she asked herself aloud. " The itsy bitsy spider... went up the water spout. Down came the rain... that washed the spider out. Out came the sun... that dried up all the rain... and the itsy bitsy spider... went up the spout again...." Syl turned and looked around at the source of the voice, but saw nothing but the inky black. Syl turned back around and closed her eyes and let herself continue drifting. Then it spoke again, " Little spider, little spider... you are ferocious. And you are strong, and you are quiet. " Syl felt like it was crushing her, this voice but...it felt safe at the same time, Syl kept her eyes closed and leaned into the voice. " But there is none more stealthier... more deadly... then the snake. " Syl nodded involuntarily, as if in agreement..."Who are you...?" No answer, but then, " Come now... no need to worry child. I am giving you life. I've been watching you young one... I've been watching you. Descendant of Gaia. Time... to become more." Syl arched back into the voice's grip and let it carry her away, unaware her physical body was gone, and had collasped into dust and blow away in the wind, decayed at a faster rate than it should've but Syl's spirit was fine with this.
