RPG-Superhumans (Page 31 of 40)

((Sorry ive been gone all day. Had to go Christmas shopping))

Decending to the Earth like a comet, Drakeus could feel Jack soul...and oddly could feel something...familiar close to the mortal. The only things  familiar to the wraith were: Hell, and other soul-eaters. Drakeus seriously doubted that Jack was in close proximity to hell...enless of course the mortal had been killed. Drakeus felt that this was unlikely, considering the humans healing ability, so the Demon had to assume that another soul-eater was at work here. This annoyed him greatly, no other soul-eater would get HIS quarry. He swore on the Devils black bones, that it would not be so...

((Drakeus can now be visibly seen in the sky, by Jack))

Desdemona pulled Jack to a hault. "I need to do something," she said.

Jack looked at her, "What exactly?"

Desdemona reached out and held Jack's face in her hands, she stepped forward and kissed him. In doing so a light moved from within her and into Jack. Once it was done she moved away from the kiss. Jack took a moment to open his eyes.

"Wow," he said as he looked at her.

"I've transferred some of my power to you. It will help shield you from Drakeus' attacks." Desdemona informed him.

"Oh, okay." Jack said looking a little bewildered.

"Alright then, we'll see the rest of you later. For now, lets just recouperate..." Chromium told the group as he wrapped his black cloak tightly arounf him and placed the hood over his head.

He brought Kaylene close to him and put his arms around her waist, she put hers around his neck. Chromium nodded to the rest of the group and looked skyward. He saw something strange... probably a plane. He burst into the sky and headed towards Kaylene's house.

Chromium and Haze didn't speak during the flight. The sound of the wind drowned out their voices. At times Chromium would have to slow down because he was going to fast for Haze's human body. After several minutes however they landed at Haze's front door. They reluctantly released each other.

Kaylene took out her keys and fiddled with her key chain for the key to her door. This continued for atleast 2 minutes. Chromium smiled and placed the tip of his finger against the lock of her door. He released some of the metal into the lock and molded into the shape of the key that would fit. He twisted his finger and the lock clicked. He pushed the door open.

"You continue to amaze me..." Kaylene said to Chromium, smiling. Chromium smiled back. Kaylene walked inside and turned to look back at him.

"May I?" He asked. She scoffed sarcastically and pulled him in.

"ELMO!!! Im so sorry Elmo, im so sorry there was this stupid guy, Harry, and he was-" Burst out Kaylene at the sight of her cat. She picked him up and seranaded him with the story as he pet him lovingly.

She went to her bed room and Chromium took the opportunity to turn back into Tanis. After the painful process he wrapped his cloak tightly around his naked body and sat down on the coach in the living room. He really should have some pants with him at all times...

"Make yourself comfortable!" Kaylene yelled from her room.

Tanis looked around and found a remote for the tv in front of him. He switched it on and saw the newscast about all the havoc Harry had caused...."Christ" he thought, he really needed to relax. He changed channels and came upon a Discover Channel special. It was Shark Week!!! Thank God, that should keep him preoccupied...

Jack just stood there.  It had been ages since he had been kissed.  And he remembered how good it felt.  Jack remembered at the task at hand.  He quickly checked all of his weapons and readied himself.

"Just curious.  Do you have to transfer your powers with a kiss?  Or do other people do it other ways?"

Desdemona smiled.

Haze sat in her bedroom fussing over Elmo who lapped it up. As she scratched his chin she thought about finding some clothes for Chromium as he was bound to revert back to Tanis. She didn't really have any clothing for men since she never really had any over for the night. She swallowed, she hoped he didn't mind sleeping on the sofa bed, she really wasn't ready to have him in her own bed.

Haze left Elmo while she rummaged through her chest of drawers. She came across a large pair of tracksuit pants she sometime wore to bed. They were oversized as she liked to sleep in loose clothing, they were also a men's size. Next she found a large shirt she'd been given for free at a show, it had swamped her when she wore it so she assumed it'd fit Tanis okay.

She scratched Elmo under the chin before returning to the lounge room with the clothes in her hand. "I couldn't find much for you to wear, but this should be okay to sleep in." She said as she approached him, then she noticed that he had already reverted back to Tanis. "Do you want to have a shower?" She asked.

"I never thought you'd ask," Tanis said with a smile. He stood and Haze noticed that he was careful to keep his cloak in place, she smiled slightly. She handed him the clothes. "Thanks, now where's the bathroom?" he asked.

Haze guided him down the hall and showed him the bathroom. While he was in the shower she went to the spare bedroom and set up the sofa bed. Elmo helped by jumping under the sheet as she tried to tuck it in place. "You're a wonderful help," she told Elmo as he sat purring under the sheet.

Tanis walked into the room, his hair wet but brushed back. "I hope you don't mind but I used your comb."

"No sweat," Haze said as she looked down at Elmo's bump under the sheet with her hands on her hips. "Looks like you're going to have to share the bed."

Tanis chuckled, "Well there's one person I wouldn't mind sharing with but it's not Elmo."

Haze laughed but was suddenly nervous again, Tanis seemed to pick up on it. "Elmo can stay," he said.

She looked up and smiled at him, "I don't really think he's going to move."

Tanis sat down on the side of the sofa bed and patted Elmo through the sheet. "Nope he's definitely not moving," he turned to look at Haze. "So have you thought anymore about your parents?"

Haze sighed and sat down beside him. "Yeah, I'm not sure what to do. I feel really uncomfortable."

Tanis took her hand and held it in his lap. "Take all the time you need. But it sounds like they want you back in their lives."

Haze nodded and shifted closer to Tanis. "I guess I'm worried about being hurt again."

Tanis lifted her chin with a touch of his finger, "At least they're alive. Mine are gone. Don't take too long to make up your mind."

Haze nodded as she thought about it.

Drakeus decended to the Earth, not to far from the speed of sound. He impacted into the ground with a large crash, leaving a decent sized crater. Drakeus raised himself from the ground, igniting the crater with dark flame. He steped out of the ashes, he was not far from where he had been thrown. He could sense Jacks presence was near. "JACK!" He howled. " I will burn you SOUL!."

Drakeus charged Jack, hurling bombs and fire balls, and yelling demonic war cries.

((sorry for the shortness, but I have to go))

Flame, Jericho, and Ronin were in Ronin's museum base, recooperating after all the transpiring craziness.

"It's not as grand as the old joint, but it'll do." Ronin said, getting a Coke from the freezer. Flame was doing a nother fiery-puppest-show-of-death as Jericho watched The Matrix on TV.

"Psshhh. Amateur. Thinks stopping bullets is impressive. Could do that in my sleep." Jericho grumbled.

"We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming with this special news bulletin." The TV skipped from the movie to footage of a large crater in downtown, smoking with dark purple flame.

"Drakeus." The 3 men said in unison.

"I love the war cry.  I can do it too!"  Jack opened his mouth and screamed something about buffalo chicken. 

"Do you like it?  I just made it up.  Pretty good eh?  What's with buffalo chicken anyway?  Is it buffalo, or is it chicken?"  Jack nimbly dodged some fireballs.  He felt a nagging at his soul but was comforted as he threw up the new found shield.  He felt rejuvenated by this.  Jack continued pouring his ammo into the dark soul-eater.  Beams of light and lead were pouring into this guy.  It was good having Darklight back.  He was slowly but surely being pushed back.  Drakeus seeming to be fed up with this roared and sent out a concussive blast knocking Jack off his feet and Darklight onto the ground.  Darklight got up groggily. 

"Dark?  What's wrong?"

"He's slowly draining my energy.  I can't use my full powers."  Jack looked to Desdemona.

"Dessy!  What can we do to stop him?"

Recovering from the golden energy blast, Drakeus let out another demonic howl, shivering the bones of anyone who heard it. He then conjured four pillars of dark flame infront of him and yelled through them: "Jack, your soul shall burn another day. For now you will live...but only for now." The black-blue pillars then shifted into a wall of flame, shielding Drakeus from sight. Then moments after that, the walls had disappeared...and so had Drakeus.

Haze looked at the mess in Drakeus’ wake. “He certainly leaves his mark.”

“He will return,” Desdemona said cooly.

“Ah the optimist of the group.” Haze said with a smile but Desdemona just looked at her. “Or maybe not.”

Jack walked towards them, “This is Dessy.” He told them.

Haze extended her hand in greeting and Desdemona simply looked at it. “I’m Haze,” she said trying to hint at the greeting.

Jack took hold of Desdemona’s wrist and placed her hand in Haze’s. “It’s a greeting,” he explained.

“Oh,” Desdemona said suddenly understanding.

“So what happened?” Haze asked.

"I must admit...these villains have been more of a nuisance than usual..." Chromium said

"I suggest we try and find On-...Ronin...and finally dispose of him before any more super villains come about. Or does some else have another idea?" Chromium asked the group
