Note: You cannot join unless your character is in the compendium, which had to have first been ok'd by me or Xeios. Alright everyone, your characters are all in this town square. Let's begin.



It was a cold day in New Orid, but then again, no one was caught by surprise. These days, the people of Terra need never worry about the weather. For their weather just so happened to be artificial. The rain was still rain, the snow the snow, but it was controlled by machines, and fingers dancing on keyboards. Eventually no one cared anymore, for at least you could give those in control points for accuracy. The deserts were still deserts, the forests still damp and dark, the cities still mild with a tinge of economic cold. Everything always felt as it should.
However, people in the town plaza knew that something was amiss today, though indeed not the weather. Yet they could feel it in their bones. This feeling of fear, like that draining air right before a wave, emanated from a building on the south end of the plaza. Only the truly enlightened knew that this building was the current center of Red Eye, the anti-riot organization making Garrick Masterson a continually beloved political figure. They did their work without glory or infamy, they moved and acted in silence, and were jokingly referred to by the laymen as “The Garbagemen”. Indeed, in the eyes of the people, they were. They cleaned up the rubble before too much of a mess was made. But in truth, they were also suppressing political activists against Mr. Masterson. With a cleverly disguised iron fist, the organization was secretly shifting the tides of the political spectrum.
However, something happened to this organization today that set the wheels in motion for a revolution of sorts that would affect life on Orid and Terra for endless years to come. And it all began with a bang. A large, fiery bang.
Few people noticed the two figures entering the plaza, though eccentrically dressed. The two men had upon their faces the stone cold glare of a keened executioner, evident in their expression. The figure on the left was far more eye catching than the one on the right. After all, a man in a tuxedo and top hat did not simply blend in. He had slicked back, shaggy black hair, and a moustache and goatee of a similar style. His sharp blue eyes could be visible even when his entire face was obscured in shadow. As well as his pearly white grin of utter insanity.
The figure on the right was less imposing, but still different to be sure. He wore a black Kevlar vest over a dark blue long sleeved uniform and pants, tailored to be as little of a distraction as possible. He also wore a loose brown belt with some necessities upon it, and designed shoes with light black shin locks, barely noticeable to the eye. His hair was messy, thick, and as jet black as his compatriot’s. His eyes, however, were pure crimson, the same color as the insignia on his shirt’s right forearm. But upon his face was no sense of enjoyment. His face was as cold as his red eyes were fiery.
These men had taken a seat on the marble fountain’s edge, watching the building that inspired fear with determination. They were talking in low voices, impossible to hear amongst the clatter of the plaza. They seemed worried by the people around them, as if something bad were about to happen. And then, something did. A scream came from the southwest exit, and a man brandishing a large chain gun stepped into view, accompanied by several mechanical cyborgs. He ran up and his cohorts quickly cornered the duo, the only viable escape route would be through the fountain, which was just an open dash to imminent death. The new man, dressed in the same garb as the red-eyed man, only brandishing a chain gun, spoke up.
“Hot damn, you two! You gave me a good chase.” This man had blond hair, put into a ponytail, with long sideburns, and red eyes just like the other man. “Zeus, Vaudevillian, rise, and meet thy maker.” The two rose, hands slowly rising. They shared glances of a half-assed fear, then looked back at the man aiming the humongous gun at them in front of all the public to see.

“This is why you were never promoted, Locke. No finesse.” Vaudevillian chuckled. It seemed that to all nearby that this comment might have been the cause for the pair’s soon to be annihilation.

It hadn't been a strange day for Alarath Cadjem. He had been walking on the street, hoping to go to the store for some food, and these guys suddenly appeared. He frowned, the man with a chaingun had ared eyes, possibly a fire totem. Alarath was fine with totems, but he doubted going against someone with a gun was a wise choice.

He tried to make his way to the back of the crowd, attracting attention wasn't a fun way to die, and to be honest, none of these people were any of his business. Regardless, he couldn't help but feel his inner fire rising within him. Reflex, happening in times of danger.

He stopped moving to the back of the crowd, and watched...wating to see what these men were going to do. If it looked like bloodshed, his knowledge as a doctor might be needed.

Sitting crosslegged in an alleyway, Alexis grinned as she rattled the two red and black dice in her hand, her large, bald opponent across from her, positioned in the same style with his hands on his knees.

"Alright, baby; come on home!" As she tossed the dice, other member of her crew closed in with winder and an expectant look upon their rugged faces. Six and five. With a laugh and a grin, the tough woman snatched the 20 dollar bill from the ground as her cohorts ooh'd and ahh'd at her luck.

"Jesus, boss. That's five wins in a row!" Clutch grumbled, upset over the parting of 100 of his dollars.
Clutch, her craps opponent seemed to shrink with despair, but didn't put up a fight with his leader.

"You should expect no less from the leader of the Leary Thieves' Crew!" she added with a bit of a smirk.

A thin, lanky member of Alexis' posse ran into the alleyway at that time with a paniced look on his face. "Boss! Boss!"

With hooded eyes and a grimmace, Alexis looked over her shoulder still seated, as everyone else turned around.

"Whaddizit, Brake?" Brake, the scouting bandit on patrol had a look of anxiety on his face as he stammered to get out his words.

"There's somethin' goin' down outside, right by the fountain! Some weird-ass dude witha big fuckin' chaingun!"
Alexis' expression changed from irritation to interest. Pocketing the money she won, she quickly got up.

"You idiots stay here. I'm gonna have a look around." With a worried look on all their faces, the Leary Thieves just nodded with a "Yes, boss."
Exiting the alleyway, she saw the action about to go down with the Terrans, and especially noted the one dressed like one would've 1000 years ago, then the man with the minigun.

"Looks like this could get interesting, guys. You all stay put, and I'll have a look around. When the action is over, we rush 'em, hit 'em hard, then move. Accel, you'll be on target incapacitation. Clutch, you're crowd control. Don't forget the smoke grenades and memory lapsing gas bombs." A "Right!" resounded amongst the thieves, and Alex moved out and into the crowd.

Next to her was a smart looking, red headed fellow who seemed to watch with equal anticipation.
"What's going on here?" she asked innocently.

"Looks like a couple people want a fight. They don't seem to be making anyone else involved, so I'd reccomend just standing back and watching the show."

Alarath frowned, he pass Alexis not long ago, and saw her roll at least three wins in a row. She seemed the sort to use loaded die. He shifted his hands to his pockets, anyone who could use loaded die, could pickpocket.

"I'll take a bet one who wins, I'm going to have to go for the guys without the chaingun, twenty-five says that this Vaudevillian has a victory."

Rei Pietra leaned against the wall of a nearby building, munching on an esuli fruit. He bit through the crunchy green exterior and into the juicy red interior. He finished off the fruit and licked his fingers clean, anticipating the ensuing fight.

Clank.

One can slipped out of the bag as her grip loosened. The wide-eyed girl gasped as she witnessed what had just happened. She was beginning to see why she wasn't allowed to do the shopping on her own. She had been warned of many of the things that happened throughout her adventure. People in the stores, trying to persuade her to spend more money than needed, the occasional pickpocketer...but this, this her "grandmother" had not warned her about.

With her blue eyes locked on the trio, Bria Aidden couldn't bring herself to turn away from the situation. The constant sparkle of the water coming from the fountain was catching the corner of her eye.

No...don't you dare... she scolded herself. The commotion had nothing to do with her, and she wasn't the strongest person in existence. She always knew that. She had to be smart with how she used what she could do, and that was what got her through everything.

There was no water.

It was too cold.

Bria did a double take as she had just realized this. Then... She didn't know what to think. With her free hand, she placed the back of it to her forehead. Even though one couldn't judge their own fevers, it was something she did anyway. She hadn't been as sickly as she used to be in ages. Am I seeing things?

(OOC: Hey...water came from the fountains in center city until fricken December...so I dunno it it's really too cold here for the water...but if we're going to act upon the situation to get this started, I need water. :p So...shhhh....there's a water source under the fountain...)

"What the hell is that girl doing?" Alexis thought to herself as she saw a strange girl act with suspicion in the front of the group. "If she's a Totem, this could get botched, and badly," she thought.

With a shift of her eyes, he looked towards the alleyway. Brake was still standing near the entrance, watching her actions. She started moving her hands with some kind of sign language that the thieves used for long range communication. If one were to understand it, it would read as, "Mission aborted. Too dangerous." Brake read this, and nodded, and went back in, probably to tell everyone else the news. Still, Alexis stayed there, watching with wonder as to what would come of this turn of events.

The man with the gun, Locke, was now quite enjoying himself. Here before him was his two rivals, who he had cornered and caught for what they really were. He had one of the mechanical androids come over and hold the gun as he reached into his pocket and threw a small package to the ground.

"We found your bomb inside the headquarters. You two, of all people, should know Red Eye is not to be taken lightly!"

Locke reached into his coat and mysteriously drew out a pistol, aiming it at the man known as Zeus.

"You, you fucking upstart, you started this. I promised myself I'd be the one to do you in."

Zeus quietly looked over at Vaudevillian. "Friend, it appears the first flock has grown too cozy." Without saying anything else, he reached into his pocket. Locke cocked his pistol and prepared to shoot if in danger. Zeus then rolled out a small detonator onto the ground.

"You got me." A sinister grin appeared on Locke's face, knowing he had the satisfaction of victory.

"STOP IT!" Bria shouted.

fucking idiot... she thought to herself grimly, but as usual, her impulsiveness got the better of her. Her mind and body were almost always at a constant battle with one another. Her mind telling her that what she was about to do wasn't the smartest idea, but then she would go ahead and do it anyway.

Now, her legs were carrying her even closer to the situation. She had dropped her bag of groceries when she had first shouted, and now both hands were balled into fists.

"Are you crazy?! There are people all over the place!" She was now close enough to them that she no longer needed to shout, but her voice was urgent and angry all the same.

"You boys can't just stroll on in here and cause a rukus like this...there are too many people...too many children here to witness this!" Her usually pale face was now flustered, her cheeks red. Her usually icy eyes had a firey stare about them now, as she looked from one man to the other.

Vaudevillian nodded to Zeus.

"Aye, friend. The final act is one of noteworthy proportions though."

This girl caused a ruckus, a momentarily distracted Locke stared at her threateningly.

"Listen here, these traitors planned to use this bomb to blow up th building right there." With a fit of rage Locke pulled his gun from being trained on Zeus to pointing directly at the Large building. "Would you rather have had the innocent people die or be forced to witness that!?"

Vaudevillian, was shocked for but a second at the girls outburst, then Locke's retort set into effect several great actions. With a flick of the wrist, a detonator appeared in Vaudevillian's left hand, he clicked gently but precisely on the switch, setting off a series of massive explosions to erupt from the building. The flare which shot from the doors of the building knocked down the majority of the Red Eye troops. At the same moment as he clicked the button, Vaudevillian's right hand deposited several small gray balls onto the ground, which erupted in a massive amount of dark smoke. With a flick of his cape, which , he was standing near the girl who had caused the distraction and, after scooping her into his arms, took flight from the battlefield this plaza was to come.

"Sorry to involve you in this Madame, but you most certainly will be on their bounty list after your actions today." Vaudevillian's charming smile came through, even though he was running quickly away from the scene of a horrific crime, hoping Zeus was closely following. The whole plaza was in chaos as Vaudevillian charged through it. He hoped to make his way to their planned escape route.

Rei watched the turn of events with partial interest. He always made it a point to not meddle in other people's business. But when he saw the small girl get snatched, he felt a need to defend her.

He lifted a small pebble from the ground and launched it through the cloud, cutting a clear path through the smoke. An android stepped in front of him and he planted his fist through it's chest. He kept running, ignoring the blood on his fist, and stooped down, dragging his outstretched fingers along the ground. As his fingers trailed along the ground, the earth under him flowed up his arm, encasing him in stone. He raised his arm just as he rushed headfirst through an android.

"He--" She was cut off as she felt herself lifted off the ground. She closed her eyes tightly and gripped on tightly to Vaudevillian's shirt. "Y-you destroyed the build...ing..." she studdered. She burried her head into his chest as they moved, her long black hair bunching up at her neck and the rest flowing behind them.

"Bounty? I...didn't do anything wrong!" Bria exclaimed.

With the explosion, Alexs covered her head, then looked up. "The sonofabitch actually blew it up!" she thought, almost aloud. Then, with a blur, The Vaudvillan chap whizzed past her with that strange girl in tow. Over the ruckus, she heard him say something...

The word "Bounty" rang out like a siren in Alexis' ears. Her eyes widened, and she took off after him. She may still be able to make some money off this little ordeal, after all. Weaving and shoving her way through people, she dashed after him at a high speed, shouting the whole way.

"Hey, you! Get back here! God dammit!"

Ahh, the sweet relief of a Plan B gone right filled Zeus with the satisfaction his oppressor Locke had been feeling not too long before. He had moved to follow Vaudevillian when he was stopped by a few androids quick to their feet. In the chaos of people moving everywhere, no one noticed the electric charge pulsing through Zeus and springing from his hands and leaping onto the androids, shutting them down almost instanteneously. He noticed a city girl chasing after Vaudevillian.

With a click, he thew himself forward, dashing at speeds impossible for Orids, or Terrans for that matter. He caught up to the girl and slowed down to keep her pace. The man referred to Zeus looked over his shoulder to see Locke running forward, gun brandished. Instinct Drive kicking in, he began to move to the alleyway beside him, but he also thought of the girl beside him. He grabbed her by the arm and pulled her with him into the alleyway as Locke began his ballistic bonanza.

He let go of her once in the alleyway and called out to her, saying "Follow me if you want to live!"

Being assaulted by this wanker didn't make Alexis too thrilled.

"What the hell is wrong with you? 'Live'? You sayin' those guy's'll kill me? What for? I didn't do anything!"

She demanded an explanation, even though they seemed to be in a bit of a jam.

"You're dealing with Red Eye, a team created to deal with riots! How they handle riots is by killing everyone involved and using their public team to write an explanation for the actions! So, come!"

He then turned and started running down the alleyway, making a sharp right and disappearing from Alexis' view. It seemed for the time being he and Vaudevillian would be taking seperate paths.

With limited options, she follwed him down the alley, then her instinct drive kicked in, and she ran in front of him.

"Follow me real quick. I'll only be a second."
Dashing aahead and turned down another alley, she reached the back end of her hideout.

"Listen up, boys!"
Everyone suddenly turned around.
"Boss!"

"Look, I'm going on a temporary vacation. Clutch, you're in charge of things 'til I get back. Take the gang, and find somewhere far away from here, and now. Go! I'll see you all later."

As they quickly jogged off, most of her men went past her and shook her hand as they escaped. When they were all out of the way, she turned to her new accomplice.

"My gang's safety takes precidence over both our lives. Now that they'll be safe, we can go wherever the fuck you want."

"By now, Gadget's survellience cameras will have marked you. Until we clear this up, you're as wanted as I am. We have to head for my own personal hideout, out of the sweep zone."
The man slowly turned around and began to run again, but he stopped.


"By the way, Zeus is just a codename. You can call me Kenneth Ride, or Ken for short." With that, he turned, and with a seemingly unnoticable electrical vibe to him, he dashed down the alleyway, up over a garbage disposal box, and up a small one story building, moving unbelievably fast. He turned around and reached out to his new accomplice. "Jump off the crate and grab my hand!"

*Avendia watched the chaos erupt in the square from her rooftop perch. She had only been in the city for two days and already she wondered why she wanted to come in the first place. She watched quietly as the one named Zeus ducked into the ally behind her rooftop with a local girl and followed them over the roofs as they ran -- tossing some rocks in the other direction to throw off the one known as Locke before she left.

When Zeus, or Ken as the man now revealed himself, jumped onto the roof of the building he was right across from her. Avendia stood up to her full height and addressed him clearly, though holding herself in a non-threatening manner... for a Sand Animus anyway*

Alarath smiled as they rushed off. He didn't plan on following Vaudevillian, but when Zeus ran off, he chased after him, the gears already turning in his mind. Alarath was a fairly fast runner, though slower than this Zeus guy. Zeus' speed was insane, he was nearly out of sight by the time he slowed down, and Alarath was only just able to gain enough steps to follow the rest of the way.

When they stopped, Alarath, nearly out of breath, spoke. "I'm coming too," he said. "I'm probably not wanted, but I hate Red Eye just as much as you. I want to help fight them."

He hoped this would work, his plans were being set in place.
