It's Alive!

In the city, you must fight to survive. If you can't fight you stay smart. Sometimes being smart... Is more dangerous than being strong or being able to fight. Like today, a rather smart young man had been cornered. His group of friends who were a small time street gang had been beaten to death right in front of him. Now it was his turn as the gang circled his sobbing form a burst of static green energy would explode from his form knocking the opposing gang back.

And with groans his friends all stood up. Fidgiting in fear before lashing out and beating the cap out of the opposing gang.

The guy broke at seeing this, laughing hystericaly.

"It's alive! Hahaha it's alive!"

It didn't end there however the four revived people were confused after the fight and afraid.

"What happened, what are we?"

The young guy would stand and approach them.

"Don't worry guys, all that matters is we are together and we can take these streets, easy."

The four in unison stood straight and at attention at his words and only replied with.

"Yes, master."

Skip to now a car pulling up at a cafe known local for gang activity and the four getting out and tossing molotov through the windows!

It was a peaceful day thus far for Noriko. She can't help but think of the hospital whenever entering into this particular cafe. What was the name of the place anyway? For all she knows, the staff aren't even aware. In the end however, it didn't really matter, seeing as the place was put into a constant state of jeopardy. It was these daily crises that bring business to the location in the form of minor gangs and particularly daring denizens. Noriko sat at one of the corner tables, but she seemed more interested in what was beyond the window, rather than the parfait that sat in front of her. Why was it that the outside world looked so much better when looking in from the other side? Noriko was left with little time to answer her question, as an approaching car had just now caught her attention. She wasn't suspicious of it yet, but the sound of the wheels rolling in gave her the urge to look anyway. It was good she did too, since as soon as the guys piled out, they sent multiple bottles flying towards the cafe! Noriko quickly slid under the table as the sound of the windows above shattering caused the staff to flea. Something was burning. She looked too her left to find fire spreading to the cashier's counter. "Fire...?! You have to be kidding me...!" A with a great expression of worry on her face; Noriko quickly scanned over the room to check for any other people who could potentially get hurt. The fire was spreading fast, so breathing the air in here could prove dangerous if given time.   In the end, no one wins

[Arianna Barrial]

Being respectable citizens, Arianna was out for a rare coffee/tea break with her younger sister, at an establishment without the gang repute several blocks away. They were sitting outside, enjoying what seemed to be light conversation until...

"I think you ned to look at things seriously before agreeing, the next time he asks. He needs help, Kyrie...and although I don't believe he'd snap and hurt you or Lia, he can't go around like he has when that happens. Robbie was just the start, and what happened in David's hospital was far worse."

Still, her tone was soft and cautious and concerned.

[Kyrie Blaze]

More or less unaware of the chaos blooming several blocks away, Kyrie glanced down at her London Fog, hands cupping the hot ceramic mug.

Her sister was saying something...she was very aware of.

"Yes, I know... It is PTSD, right?"

She'd known that his snap on Robbie wasn't a normal response. She'd hated that it happened even if some part of her was thankful her oppressor had been sent a clear and finite message... But it had left her more concerned than anything.

[Emily Suddenfield]

Bursting between the two girls (Arianna and Kiyr), a young woman with her mask pulled up was sprinting full speed toward the chaos and screams. Emily wasn't normally prone to heroics, but since she left her title behind she'd been forced to find other avenues to remain physically relevant. From what she understood, Krane was catching up to her fast.

That was unacceptable.

She would dart in and out of the crowd and fleeing civilians to leap through the air, aiming a flying right kick for the side of the head of whoever was at the front of the gang. Her hoodie was pulled up, black mask covering the lower half of her face so that only her eyes were showing through.

"Put down your weapons and get on the ground. Now."

Stats:

Attack: 25
Speed: 27
Defense: 26
Perception: 20
Energy: 10

Noriko would note most the people flipping tables and getting ready to fight. No guns, but they were definitely armed with other tools. She would also see innocent people in the cross fire screaming and looking for an exit in the chaos.

When it came to Emily the thugs would look to the masked girl with raised brows. They didn't have guns either. A few bats and pipes. They didn't really seem to care. The guy she kicked would get up slowly obviously having been dealt a near finishing blow. A punk to her side would speak back to her.

"Who do you represent?"

Obviously trying to find out what gang she belonged to.

[Arianna Barrial]

"Ye--!"

Her affirmative response was turned into a yelp as a woman leaped over their table outside and rushed off! Arianna blinked, wide-eyed, and looked back into the cafe. With nobody seeming to be panicking inside - aside from confused stares and apparent chatter - she turned to look in the direction the woman practically flew off to.

Or at least...she thought it was a woman by the build.

...what was going..?

[Kyrie Blaze]

She knew her sister's response despite the interruption. The blonde stood, downing the majority of her (still hot, yow!) drink. She cocked her head, the screams becoming...clearer, now, and she looked at her sister for a brief moment...

--and then grabbed her hand to pull Arianna with!

"It sounds like there may be people hurt."

That would be all it took to get Arianna out of her surprise and confusion!

Off to the scene they go!

[Emily Suddenfield]

Em stood slowly, appreciating that the man was still able to get up despite her attack. He was worse for wear, of course....but still. Not many took punishing blows from her anymore.

"I represent Aftershock. This area of the city is under our protection."

She wasn't just with that gang....she led it. Emily formed it after leaving her title behind....she had many plans for AS, and this was as good a time to make a name as any.

notes:私も戦うためにあったとしても、私は任意の助けになるとは思いません... @tagged words: ####

It seemed the residents of the town had little need for a hero, seeing as they all came prepared for just this situation with the exception of a small number. Noriko was sure someone else would come to aid the helpless in due time, so the main focus was to to get her own caboose out of the mess. Noriko tried to devise an escape plan, but had her thought process interrupted as she turned at the signal of a near yelp just in time to catch a "mysterious" individual running off to go fight the thugs. Two other girls ran off. ("I should help"), Noriko thought as she observed the brute strength put forward by the mystery girl outside. Rather than doing as mentioned, she hopped out one of the broken windows to take a closer look. Now that Noriko found herself outside and away from some of the ruckus emanating from the cafe, she could actually hear some of what was going on near the car...or not. Noriko couldn't catch the majority of the conversation, but she heard the part about Aftershock at least. "Aftershock? That's no good...you would think they would prefer to be the stronger of the two earthquakes. ("Should I continue watching or...?") Noriko remained in a pensive state in the midst of the chaos. In the end, no one wins

The group looked among themselves and shared a quick chuckle. The one she kicked would lash out with a wide and fast swing of a pipe. She'd be able to see it coming though, the guy was about average when it came to his speed. The others ignored her and moved towards the building to complete the job.
