(Next afternoon, in an operation room in the [b]Regixisco[/b] Bounty Agency headquarters, Sev, his crew, and [b]Krojiak[/b] are chatting with this survivor of the Deadnight Murderess. A pure [b]Terranovian[/b] male with dark brown, mid-length hair, face is wrapped up in thick, black bandages, with only his emerald green eyes being visible. He wears a blue trenchcoat over a black cyber suit.) [b]Krojiak:[/b] Good to hear your story, [b]Nazen[/b]. As of now, retreat some place populated and highly surveyed by police and bounty hunters. It ain't much seeing how skilled the DM must be, but it's something to...be aware of. [b]Nazen:[/b] Agh, I'm already in the process of getting out of these slums. [b]Krojiak:[/b] *to the crew* It's actually a surprise we even got in touch with a survivor. Police reports show there was this one guy -blam!- a DM attack to this agency, but she caught him the next day. Notes on my cator somewhere- oh, here it is. *[b]Krojiak[/b] shows the crew and the survivor the note: [i]"I was actually almost unveiled? Nearly slipped, quite clumsy of me." Signed: Deadnight Murderess[/i].* [b]Katchikiya:[/b] Oh, this little b[b]i[/b]tch got humor. [b]Tomakoda:[/b] It's quite effective when it comes to being an imposing serial killer. [b]Quivaro:[/b] Wasn't [b]Jeruo Torizi[/b] considered charismatic and an "elite charmer"? And that's how he managed to claim a lot of his victims? [b]Severaes:[/b] Yep. Though it looks like the Deadnight Murderess expresses that humor AFTER she claims her victims. [b]Quivaro:[/b] And it's the opposite for...let's say, [b]Sorozana[/b], but she was the expert facial prosthetic artist. [b]Katchikiya:[/b] The prosthetics were...a little too real. 15 years too late, but we have to give thanks to the Blackcore Vultures for doing some vital community service. _____________ (Night hits, the crew ventures deep into the slums of [b]Dyphinix[/b] in search of the Deadnight Murderess. The 5 are on a block with multiple vacant homes and abandoned vehicles, scouting their surroundings.) [b]Katchikiya:[/b] You'd think with all the resources this planet has access to, the [b]Dyphinix[/b] mayor didn't even bother to push a reconstruction mission for these sorry [b]a[/b]ss neighborhoods? [b]Severaes:[/b] Well Katchi, with the [b]Vaisallian[/b] government operating on our lands, it's not impossible that they're leeching funds from our institutions, multiple ways or others. [b]Krojiak:[/b] Or it's just [b]Dyphinix[/b]. Residents who live here don't want to live here, criminals know they can get away with crimes easier than the other 3 sub-stricts, which is why they stay here too. [b]Tomakoda:[/b] A real life Gotham, or [b]Kravature[/b]. [b]Quivaro:[/b] Gotham is that DC city, right? Avengers? [b]Katchikiya:[/b] Avengers is Marvel. DC equivalent would be Justice League. [b]Krojiak:[/b] Little comic nerd, Katchi? *The crew hears a battle coming from an desolate parking lot. Rushing over to the scene, they come across a lone hunter who has just been executed by none other than the Deadnight Murderess.* [b]Katchikiya:[/b] Oh...team...it's her. _______________ [b][i]*Cliche--blam!- opening theme plays*[/i][/b] ________________ *The DM is seen in all her glory. A creepy, black mask with slanted eye holes and 2 rows of wide, sharp, jagged teeth. Long, black, silky straight hair. Her mid-length jacket is black with dark gray patches and some slits in them, possibly from previous battles. Under is a smaller, zipped dark blue hooded sweater. Slim, gray leather pants with dark brown detailing, and short brown boots with black at the soles and toe area. She retracts 3 hidden blades back into her hands before she sets her gaze onto the crew.* [b]Deadnight Murderess:[/b] Ahh....so I've been caught in the act again. The difficulty of my victims has increased, it seems. ________________ [b][u][FIGHT SEQUENCE][/u][/b] *A light blue aura forms around her body, possibly indicating retreat, but [b]Krojiak[/b] teleports to her right, latching an energy rope to her forearm before a trail travels from the rope, transferring over to the DM to set off an explosion that knocks her back, but she toughens it out. Katchi swoops from behind, raising her staff, but the DM unleashes a singular hidden blade to block the attack, then performs an underhand energy blast disguised as a spinning leg sweep, but Katchi evades with a handspring that slides her meters away, giving [b]Quivaro[/b] an opening to fire a powerful energy shot from his shotgun, now having a green, wide, holographic barrier.* *The shot hits the DM in her abdomen, knocking her into a vacant building. She then looks in front to see Sev teleporting in, zooming at her with a slash attack with his lance that she narrowly dodges, causing the attack to slice the building in half and fall over. Sev redirects his position, aiming up at the DM to activate an ability of his called Silverliner Bullet, in which he summons a bow an arrow made of his silver energy, firing a tracking arrow that catches up to the DM too fast for her to even react, piercing through her body, unleashing an explosion that sends her flying as the crew follows her.* *DM crashes through another vacant building. As she makes her way back to her feet, Toma is just meters away, creating a symbol using katana swings as that symbol travels towards the DM, who eludes the attack by teleporting right in Toma's face, retaliating with a hidden blade attack this time ignited by her energy. However, Toma grabs her arm, spins and slashes her leg, spin kicks her, then impales her from behind with her katana. As Toma attempts another attack, the DM activates a small explosion around her body, creating toxic blue smoke the second after, causing Toma to create some distance.* [b]Deadnight Murderess:[/b] *as she's vanishing* You are all on my kill list. Keep counting your days. __________________ [b][u][FIGHT SEQUENCE OVER][/u][/b] *As the DM vanishes, she drops another note. Sev goes to pick it up, turning it around to read what is written.* [b]Severaes:[/b] [i]"Many more notes you'll find and it's a high possibility that it wasn't written by me once you recognize the handwriting. Seems like the [b]Vaisallian[/b] government is a fan of my work and is inadvertently conspiring with me. Signed: Deadnight Murderess"[/i] What?! [b]Vaisallian[/b] government? [b]Krojiak:[/b] 2 f[b]u[/b]cks terrorizing [b]Saitranovia[/b] currently. One domestic, the other foreign. [b]Quivaro:[/b] How easy you think it'll be paying Roman a visit? They're still on the mainland, right? [b]Severaes:[/b] Should be. It's a risky decision, but they've caused enough damage, and they will be sent packing. Whether it'll be at the hands of us or not. _______________ (Next day, just nearing afternoon in an isolated section in mideast [b]Dyphinix[/b]. A unique male figure enters a retreat, accompanied by 3 more men. They all proceed to place about 7 briefcases filled with [b]zepiks[/b] down, revealing that this is actually a gang of bandits and quite successful ones seeing the spoils they managed to reap.) [b]Bandit 1:[/b] It's hell of a heist we had back then. [b]Gridaiko[/b] man, put your "mastermindedness" to maximum, and we can pull some successful heists on other mainlands too, dude. *[b]Gridaiko[/b] is the leader of this squad. A pure [b]Terranovian[/b], having messy, spiky dark blue hair with bangs all over his forehead and gray eyes. He wears a black and white compression mask only covering his mouth to cover up hideous burn scars, but has a less severe scar around his left eye. He wears a black overcoat with blue trims over a sleek, light-armored, black and white cyber suit, and black boots with glowing light blue details. He also has a holster on his hip where he can carry his signature shotgun that can shift into a cleaver.* [b]Gridaiko:[/b] *sighs as he drops into a chair* You're pushing it, [b]Turzo[/b]. I'm damn sure not robbing no bank in [b]Venturos[/b]. Last time we did, that freelance hunter and his little maids were already in the vault waiting for us. We were all nearly caught, except for [b]Malvod[/b] and [b]Chriten[/b], as they got killed. We're fortunate enough to get these [b]zepiks[/b] over to this spot. [b]Turzo:[/b] *Caucasian-[b]Terranovian[/b] male with short, dark brown hair and green eyes, wearing a medium black jacket over a brown vest and a tucked-in, gray sweater, straight, dark brown pants, and short black boots with light green glow* We'll it's [b]Dyphinix[/b], it's easier robbing here, but their banks are...sh[b]i[/b]tty. We got a [b]zepik[/b] mule? [b]Gridaiko:[/b] No, but I think those Purple Cloaks will make the perfect [b]zepik[/b] mule. Give them one briefcase, they can put all of it into some anti-[b]Liomage[/b] campaign, and little to no suspicion will be detected. [b]Astonelos:[/b] *black male, half [b]Terranovian[/b], half earthling, with black dreads styled in a long ponytail and a long goatee, a gray and red bandana hung under his chin, wearing a baggy, tactical white coat and baggy, dark blue cargo pants, along with medium, white boots* Ay that might work. What about that merchant that be all over the district? [b]Turzo:[/b] Robin? [b]Astonelos:[/b] Yeah him. He really gonna care where these [b]zepiks[/b] came from if we offered to buy a weapon from him? [b]Gridaiko:[/b] How we know he didn't return to that neighbor planet? Well it's all ruins now. [b]Itarez:[/b] *Hispanic male of [b]Sagavelian[/b] descent, with slicked back, black curly hair and hazel eyes, wearing a navy blue and orange mask frame around his neck, and a small jacket of the same colors, bearing armor pads, and light blue pants with small rips, and black and dark blue boots with orange glow* There's bound to be hundreds if not thousands of void market weapons dealer all over the [b]Saitranovia[/b] Mega-District.
