IC:The world is been in turmoil. With the wars in the middle east, the civil wars in Africa, the extreme shortage of oil and the staredown between the West and the East, it was only natural that something unnatural would occur. In the sands of Egypt, something is stirring. Buried under the golden seas, there lies a small wooden box. This humble appearance is in great contrast to the wonderous thing contained within, something that, in the right hands can right the world.
...
It does not do to think of the other possibility.

The rain belted down from the overcast sky above London. Everyone who had a home was in one, and even the homeless had headed for the nearest shelter. That was good, as that way no one saw the hooded figure perched on the crown of Justice atop the Old Bailey. Rain soaked and soggy from days of the downpour, Rhyl sat scanning the city. He had done this every night for the last four years, keeping a permanent nighttime vigil over the city. He sighed.
"This is getting really boring."
In addition to the rain and the boredom, his head was throbbing. The part of him, the original Timeless part he hid away, was hammering at the inside of his head, telling him that something was amiss with the natural order.
"Alright, alright, I get it." He sighed, shook his head and continued his watch.

OOC:Revision of my dude, I stayed in London after being caught by Black Rose in America
As the rain belittled the city, Ninja hid in the alley. He had managed to get away from the Black Rose, but had forsaken the life he had built. as he walked through the street he kept a watch at all times. Ever wary of the team sent to kill him.

Max needed to feed and fast, he had made his way to a bank and was about to feed on the manager when the man pushed the alarm. In seconds the vault door closed but that wasn't what Max wanted, he eagerly feasted on the mans aura, but decided that he should perhaps feed on the mans soul instead, taking out a ceremonial dagger Max cut the mans neck and began to drink the man soul, the entire time the alarm rang out through the streets of London.

The alarm bell caught Rhyl's attention, and he stood up in his peculiar way (almost like a mongoose, with the tip of his left foot only just touching the ground and head cocked to one side) for a moment before sliding down the great statue and heading for the bank, sword drawn.
"This guy picked the wrong damn day to make noise."

Ninja noticed the sound and bolted towards it. He was always watching out for other projects and this may be one. He went straight to the bank and found the door shut. Being lazy, a bolt of lightning lanced out from his hand, tearing the door from its hinges.

Two things grabbed his attention here. The bright flash of light from the bolt, as well as the physical whack the close proximity to something unnaturally natural. He growled and hopped down off the roof, landing in between the man and the now open doors of the bank.
"I would really advise you to go away." What little light there was seemed to be leeched away by the Rhyl's cloak, giving the impression of a living shadow. His cowl fell down over his face, making only his mouth visible to Ninja.

The dead mans body was thrown from the building, it looked to be ancient like a mummy. Max had stolen its life force, soul, and aura leaving the body decrepit.

"Ah crap" Ninja muttered. Flashing more lightning in the direction of the interloper, he simultaneously started towards the door. Stopping the barrage he let fly some throwing knives crackling with electricity.

He leapt to the side, the bolt smashing into a potted plant behind him, sending it up in flames. He then quickly brought up his sword and flicked it, the knives glancing off it.
"Well, if that's how you want to do i-" He was cut short by the dead managers body smashing into him and bowling him over. "Shit!" He kicked the husk off him, then leapt to his feet and ran after the man, sword wielded in a backhand stance. "Who the hell are you two?"

(me? or the ninja?)

(me? or the ninja?)

(((Both.)))

Max dropped into his shadow form and dropped to the ground with the intent of leaving the bank. Those pesky cars with the blinking lights were forming around the bank.

Ninja lanced a police car and hurled more knives at Rhyl. He then vaulted over a car and sent a shockwave through the area and flew off.

One of the knives hit him in the leg and he winced, then turned away from Ninja, seeing him as an impossible target (for now), and turned back to face the inside of the bank.
"Now then, we can do this two ways. One, you come out of your hidey hole and we talk like civilized people. Or two, I just find you then kill you like a civilized person. Which would you prefer?"

In the vorner of the bank there was a brief explosion, followed by a large cloud of dust and a pretty, black haired, woman. The women had a golden mask over her face hideing the fact that what little flesh was on her cheeks was withered and small in amount but her eyes were visable and they had a strange, dead quality.

Completly oblivius to the comotion going on around her ahe blew apart the cash desk next to her and walked thrugh the gaping hole, over to a groupe of employees huddled in a corner, grabed a man by the neck and drained his life, leaving him in no beter condition than the bank manager.

Turning she walked back out of the second hole and looked at the bank manager saying "He looks like someone I used to know" stabed him in the head with a golden sai for good measure and turning to Rhyl she said "So what did you kill HIM for?" while kicking the managers corpse.

Max appeared right in front of the woman,"Nasa Ryal Rakian, Ralako."

ooc: Shes egyptian not Ralkovan, indeed shes a phyco mummy trying to destroy the world lol.

OOC: Since when do Egyptian's have Sais?

IC: Rhyl sighed, muttered "Don't blame me, he started it..." then roared at the two. The entire room suddenly froze and was enveloped in shadow, all the light being drawn into his pupils.
"Okay. You two shall tell me who you are now, or-" He spun his sword around so the point was towards the two. "-I'll kill you. And speak damn English."

OOC: Hey void, check the signup thread, and see if my guy is good enough for this

Vladimir was flying over the sky, as he saw all the police cars and decided to check it out, he slammed on the ground, destroying some cars and looked around

Max laughed as he immediately felt different life forces emanating from the lady,"Feeder of life, Destroyer of hope, betrayer of a false G-d. Seeker of power" The words he said would make no sense to the people around him except for the woman. He immediately slipped away from the group turning into a shadow which left the bank.

Vladimir saw the shadow slip away, and chased it, running as fast as he could

It dissappeared among the other countless shadows of the city.

Vladimir got mad and saw Rhyl, Vladimir used his power to control heat, and sent a heat wave, 4 times hotter then a regular fire at him

OOC: This is possibly the most nonrationally violent RP I've ever participated in :p
The fire disappeared into the shadow around Rhyl. He turned to face Vladmir.
"Why is everyone so damn hostile here?" He grinned, and faded into the shadow, appearing beneath Vladmir and snatching his legs out from beneath him, then disappearing again. "Look, I don't want a fight. Tell me why your here."

Vladimir calmed down, "I am sorry, I saw strange people, like me, and I thought it was the KGB still after me, I am on the run, they called me the New Soviet Man, but I remember who i am, I am Vladimir Ivankov, I am sorry for attacking you", Vladimir bowed and looked at Rhyl

The eyes, the only part of Rhyl visible in the shadow, ran through a series of colors, from red to green, before turning back to white.
"Very well." The shadow receded, being replaced by light, and he looked down at his leg, in which the knife Ninja had thrown was still embedded. "Damn it. They all come out at night." He pulled it out, wincing as he did, and tossed it aside. "So, what brings you to this rain stained patch of steel?"

Vladimir sat down, "Well the American FBI and CIA found me in Iraq, so I had to flee again, decided to come to London, and then decided to see what all the nose was about"

Since when do Egyptian's have Sais
OOC: Since the mummy. Look does it really matter, i mean since when id mummy come to life and have phycic powers lol.

IC: "Me?, im here to kill those who let me out of my tomb and return to my beauty, incidently he was the last one, look." Shamawnotep removed her mask, reavealing more of her long black hair and now fully restored face.

Vladimir was unfazed,"I am here also to kill a man, a British man who sold the Soviet Union the tech to make me"

Shamawnotep just blinked, not understanding a word the man just said and made a small pyramid of sand seemingly from nowhere

"You are all so violent." He looked out of the door, as a team of armed Terror Response police burst through the door.
"Police! Down on the ground and drop your weapons!"
"Nice meeting you all." He ran into the far wall, disappearing into the shadows on it.

Vladimir clapped his hands together, sending a heat wave at the police, this one about 3 times as hot as fire

"You didn't say please" Shamawnotep said, blasting a wall of debris and broken glass at the police men whilst levitating a little off the ground.

Marcus, or Marc to those who knew him, had always been fond of London. It's weather was always wet, and that was one of the things that had always attracted him to it, and that had always puzzled people who knew him. He stood in a dark alleyway, lit only by the flame he held in his hand. The flame was unbothered by the pouring rain. His face and hair were obscured by the hooded jacket he wore.

He walked out, and saw a collection of police cars around a building, some of them overturned. As he approached, he flicked his hand, sending the nearest car flying up into the air, landing upright with a thud.

He looked up to the sky. The rain began to come down heavier as he heard the crash of the debris and felt the heat of the fire inside the nearby building.

The police officers were riddled by the glass and crushed by the chunks of wall and miscellaneous debris, before the heat wave instantly incinerated them. Upon seeing the men burst into flames, and the strange hooded man now joining the fray, the police scarped away, bar a few who fired off a few rounds then were killed the domino effect of exploding cars.

Rhyl watched the chaos from the rooftops, the coming sunlight ebbing away at his powers. He chuckled at the chaos.
"Fire will always beat the Steel."

OOC: Actually, I was intending to be a mysterious guy with good intentions, so I wasn't flipping the car over to attack the police, more to just be a helping hand. Since you said that the cars exploded, i'm assuming you're attributing that to me, which is Godmodding.

But meh.

IC:

Marc watched as the police tried to run. He looked around, and saw a figure upon the rooftops. Sensing someone may have seen him, great obelisks of rock burst from the ground around him, shielding him from view. As they recinded into the ground, the space Marc had previously occupied was empty.

He was now a few blocks away, lighting a tramp's cigarette with a click of his fingers, illuminating the small templar cross on the shoulder of his jacket.

OOC: Sorry, I read it incorrectly. I can edit if you like.

Vladimir got out of the building, and melted a police car, he was mad

OOC: Sorry, I read it incorrectly. I can edit if you like.

OOC:Nah, it's okay. Perhaps the cars exploded due to the heat. Easy mistake to make ;)

[size=1] He was now a few blocks away, lighting a tramp's cigarette with a click of his fingers, illuminating the small templar cross on the shoulder of his jacket.
The tramp did not notice how the man had lit his cigarette, muttered "Bless ya sir," and hobbled away. Rhyl appeared behind Marc, chuckling.
"Good show sir. One act of small kindness at a time."

Vladimir got out of the building, and melted a police car, he was mad

A few of the officers turned and fired rounds at him, before thinking better and continuing to flee.

The bulletts did little damage as Vladimir went on his rampage, destroying cars and cops, heats waves and smashing everything

Marc swivelled around as he heard Rhyl's voice. He studied Rhyl for a moment, then chose his words carefully. Whoever this guy was, he had a knack for finding people.

"And you are?" he asked

"Rhyl." He stared at the man for a moment, before continuing. "Rhyl of the Timeless. I live here." He wrung his cowl free of water. "So what's your excuse so being here?"

"Rhyl." He stared at the man for a moment, before continuing. "Rhyl of the Timeless. I live here." He wrung his cowl free of water. "So what's your excuse so being here?"

"Excuse?" replied Marc, still eying Rhyl with suspicion "What makes you think I need an excuse to be here? I'm guessing it was you on the rooftops?"

Nina, backflipping back into the fray brandishing two pistols emptied both clips at everyone in range. As he landed he unleashed a hellish bolt of lightning that tore through the side of the bank, collapsing the building.

Marc heard the noise. Before Rhyl had time to react, another rock obelisk burst from the ground, creating a barrier between them.

"Don't follow me" called Marc as he turned away "You'd be wasting your time"

"That wasn't nice" Sahmawnotep said, brushing dust off her arm, she had been spared the bullets and rubble with her phycic powers. "My turn" she said, hurling chunks of bank, cars and a few bodies at Ninja

"Excuse?" replied Marc, still eying Rhyl with suspicion "What makes you think I need an excuse to be here? I'm guessing it was you on the rooftops?"
"Well, I meant why you were at the bank right there." He grinned. "Yeah, that was me. I try my best to keep up with all the happenings in the city, especially those which explode."

Marc heard the noise. Before Rhyl had time to react, another rock obelisk burst from the ground, creating a barrier between them.

"Don't follow me" called Marc as he turned away "You'd be wasting your time"
"Waste time?" He walked sideways into the wall, appearing next to Marc on the other side. "I have all the time in the world, friend."

Vladimir saw the men talking, and decided to leave the cops alone, he walked towards them, "So what are you two doing"

Vladimir saw the men talking, and decided to leave the cops alone, he walked towards them, "So what are you two doing"

"Having a conversation in the middle of what is basically a war zone, for some inexplicable reason." He looked over his shoulder at the two fighting. "Very violent tonight."

"Yeah, seems so, should we break it up?"

"Waste time?" He walked sideways into the wall, appearing next to Marc on the other side. "I have all the time in the world, friend."

Marc grinned

"Me too"

He began to slowly fade into nothing.

Not being able to boost out of the way of the cars, ninja was hurled through the side of the building. An explosion vaporized the building as he drew power from a line, he sent massive bolts hurtling towards his foes.

Shamawn flew t othe side, rubble comeing up to block the bolt as it singed her hair.
