It was noon and Gray had finally finished all of his homework. He hated having so much homework, but you have to learn to deal with it. Being a Junior in a prestigious school does that to you. "Finally, I get to go outside." Gray was one that loved to fight, but little did he know he would soon miss the innocence of his youth. Gray heard an explosion nearby, then again it was about 40 miles away, when everyone can dash at less than Mach 5 speeds, 40 miles is nothing. In less than 30 seconds he was at the explosion site where he saw someone causing harm to people and the environment.

Xenos stood on the corner of Market St. and Kale St. staring intently at his prey. The victim was alone, unsuspecting that they were about to be the next target of an ambitious hunter. Just the very though of the hunt made him eager with anticipation. He licked his lips. He could smell his prey's wonderful aroma. Yes, this would definitely be one of his greatest triumphs.

As he walked across the street, Xenos took this time to slick his spiky, black hair up with some more gel. His dark sunglasses reflected the sun as they glared at his target. As he stopped by the table in front of the coffee shop, he looked at his victim with a hungry look that was covered by his glasses.

She was quite pretty, with long blond hair that reached down to the small of her back and fair skin that seemed to radiate in the sunlight. Xenos sat down next to her at the table. She was a reading a book, but stopped reading it to give the young man a strange glance.

"Oh," Xenos tried to be nonchalant, "Is someone sitting here?" "Yes," She responded sternly, "You are, just the way I'd prefer i to be." The girl's stern look changed into a soft smile. Xenos thought he might have even seen a hint of a blush. (Well,)He thought, (This one might be a keeper.) The nineteen year old was planning on making his move when he heard an explosion from about 15 miles away. Something wasn't right. Not right at all.

Xenis cursed under his breath. He knew what he should do, but he really didn't want to. He gave the girl an intense stare for a few moments then lowered his glasses and said. Sorry babe. We'll have to chat like this some other time again real soon. He gave her a wink, causing her to blush again and dashed off to the site. It was there that he saw a strange figure right in front of the explosion.

Naajai worked his way into a random skyscraper. After helping the gang setup the charges, he figured he would occupy his time of waiting around. He had no idea what purpose the building held, but that didn't matter to him. He wanted to watch the miraculous display of the fireworks at a good view. With a bit of blending in, he was able to get to the stairwell easily without causing suspicion. Entering into a good height and secluded room, he found a view of where the explosion was going to be at. Grabbing a nearby office chair, he laid back and waited.

Being unaware of the time, it slightly spooked Naajai when the explosion went off; causing the window he was looking out of to shatter. The screams of the citizens was music to his ears as he watched them run like blind mice. He then noticed at a distance a fight going on between one of there own and someone he didn't recognize. It was strange at first sight since dealing with a resistance wasn't part of the plan. Figuring that he needed to help, he worked his way to ground level and ran toward the fight.

Gray reached ground zero in a matter of minutes, but someone was already there, and he needed to see if he was a friend or a foe. He was just about to confront the spiky haired young man when a silhouetted figure appeared out of a building, and it looked ominous. "I don't like the looks of this," Gray said to himself. He cleared his throat and shouted, "Hey, ominous figure dude, who are you and why are you so calm." 'I mean, we're at ground zero of the biggest explosion since the fourth of July.' He thought, then he imagined what had happened that day last year. A torch had accidentally fallen into the 40 pound box of fireworks, and they all spiraled into the air. 'Who'd have thunk that thousands of fireworks would all collide on one point in midair. What an awesome display.' He thought, but he had to shake the distraction from his head. As stated before, when you live in a reality where everyone runs at less than Mach 5 speeds, you gotta watch your back. Last time Gray was jumped, he barely got a chance to create a Paradox. "So, guy, are we in this together or do I gotta fight you too." Gray had turned to the man beside him, he was a few inches taller, but other than that, they seemed pretty similar. Though personality-wise, he hadn't gotten the chance to think on that.

Micheal was living in the shadows that he calls home except sent on an assasinating mission he had always heard people saying one day evil shall re-surface he waited for that time so that he can test his skills which was passed down from his father all his fore fathers has being great assasin.but today he was feeling strange,he was feeling uncomfortable he felt as if the end is near or maybe a great evil has been awakened just when he was about to get the answer he heard a loud explosion he used his shadow technique to get there in mili-seconds.

Rip was standing on a skyscraper, only about 50 feet from the explosion site." hmm.... Strange explosion." he was sure this wasn't a natural phenomenon. He hyped from the sky scraper, utilizing his flame power to brace his fall. It was only patially compleated and he was on the 20th floor, so he didn't fall that far. He looked around trying to find the source of the explosion. But before that happened, he saw three figures talking to each other. He lit a small flame into his palm as he walked toword the other pedestrians." seems like something's going on here." rip said in a calm, but intrigued. He hadn't seen a explosion like that." if I might say so my self, that seemed 100% man made. I mean, it's not like I'm a flame expert or anything. I just have a hunch."

[Maximus Kenzijuki]

As the explosion occurred, Cicero was about 100-150 feet away from the spot, doesn't matter as he could teleport by shadows. "Not what you usually see everyday, I should get going" As Cicero takes his hood off and seems to disappear into simple air. As seem to form back into human about right next to the spot. "Huh, looks like someone is here, I'll just watch and hide into simple shadow." As Cicero disappears into a shadow hiding, nobody will know he is at the spot.

Micheal was still in the shadow,battling with his mind that was this explosion natural or man made he sensed the presence of super human he could se them clearly but they cannot see him he also sensed the presence of someone able to control shadow.

"That's no way to start an introduction." Naajai said as he approached both the spiky haired man and the one with violet eyes; a color that he'd never seen on eyes before.

With them not affected by the fear of the explosion, he knew something was up, but what? Did curiousity overtake them? Stupidity? Or were they afraid, but with enough courage to take a deep breathe and face the elements. Whatever the motivation, it was a disturbing sight in his eyes, especially if... No, they wouldn't have any supernatural abilities... would they?

"How about you kids run along. I'm sure your parents are worried about you?"

[Silver Rose]

Xenos scowled at the ominous figure. "You," he pointed a figure at the stranger, "I was in the middle of a hot date. Lemme' tell you this girl was smokin'. You just had to start an explosion now did you? Out of all the times in the world, why did ya pick now? You have some major explaining to do!"

He saw a boy out of the corner of his eye. (Strange,) he thought (That kid looks awfully suspicious)

"Kid!? I don't know who you think you are but you better watch what you say, or I might end up being your worst nightmare." He turned the younger boy who had just spoke to him. "Well, I usually do my buisness with pretty ladies, but you'll do." He gave a mischevious smile.

As also sensing someone can control shadow, it was a weak presence, Cicero could control shadow's beyond the naked eye. " Hmm, well hello there" Making shadow puppets looking exactly like Cicero. Nice to meet you all, though none of you might know which one is the real me" as Cicero Smirked a little, he was also watching the argument they were having.

[Ryek Marachion]

Ooc: I have a question. Who were you pointing at silver?

[Silver Rose]

OOC: Naajai (Quinn)

[Ryek Marachion]

Rip, underneath his mask, was getting angry. he had just been brushed off." HEY! If you guys are done bickering, I think we should investigate the area." rip hoped any of the four others is going to finally aknoledge his presence in the area. But just to make sure, he lit a small fire in the middle of the group." any objections?" he circled his head around the pedestrians, waiting for a reply.

[Quinn Estiva]

"Oh, please. There are plunty of fish in the sea to go around." Naajai said. He felt a little annoyed at the guy since he never really cared for dealing with people that over-react.

Naajai was hoping to avoid a confrontation. Not that he didn't like showing off, but he had business to take care of. However, the odds of a possible fight happening increased by the second. He wondered where the others were. After all, he wasn't the only one that took part in the plan of causing chaos throughout the city. Maybe if he didn't take the time to watch the explosion he wouldn't be stuck dealing with people who think they can stop him. Now he has a few kids to run off and, from what he could tell, had no one around to back him up.

Naajai snickered when one of them mentioned investigating. "Want some evidence, huh? Well, with everything blown to bits I doubt you'll find anything useful."

After seeing a bit of proof to his theory that at least one of them had some sort of supernatural abilities, he decided to take a different approach.

"I insist that you guys be on your way." Naajai opened his arms wide. "This is our turf now, and those who get in the way will get hurt."

To prove his point, he put out the small fire that was created in front of them by forming ice within it, which quickly formed into a misty fog that slowly evaporated.
