This thread is DE enabled, you enter at your own peril.
The city stretched on into the skyline like the finger of god, standing tall in their gridlocked patterns blocks of concrete and metal testament to man's achievement, people choked the sidewalks and cars proclaimed their presence with the sultry song of their people 'BEEP' 'BEEP' "Move it jackass!" ah, the sweet sound of the city street.
He rolled down the street in his car the engine sputtered to gross life by letting out a full frontal assault on the atmosphere, it wheezed out a greasy cloud of smoke and choking miasma clocking up global warming by a few ticks. He sat there in his car he was eating a cheeseburger one hand on the wheel as he munched noisily. This was gonna be it, this was gonna be the big one. No more not having money no more 'sorry but I can't pay cause I refuse to get a job' this was gonna be the big heist and all it took was a little effort, 'honest' work and a bit of sweat of course hopefully not his sweat, they'd do all the sweating.
He pulled up in between a building got out popped the boot of his car, checked everything once and twice and pulled out an uzi. You know just the usual stuff balaclava one big bag with the dollar sign stitched into it, he shoved all of it into the bag and began his slow saunter down the sidewalk. He was wearing a dark suit made up of midnight black, but if you asked him it was more ten PM black but his tailor had assured him it was midnight black, he had two twisting horns on a face that said without speaking 'I know more than you, and I'm not telling you'.
He entered the bank he had always thought that banks were a bit soulless and he was a demon so he knew soulless, for one everything in there was artificial there were soft chairs, soft music and soft lighting, it was all on purpose who'd break such a peaceful paradise of clerks and tills. Who'd dare to break the soft music from the overhead speakers, no irate customer cussing about being ripped off, no women weeping over the counter about her house being foreclosed. Cause it just wouldn't fit into the banks report, so in the interest of money it was like its own little world. Until.
"Everyone get down!" he removed the gun from his bag and began unloading a clip, it rattled off the sound of war in every little shell the possibility of death, he fired into the roof so no death today. "On the ground, or so help me you'll be so dead you'll be wishing you weren't dead." he should've thought up better one-liners, but he was here now so that was a regret for later. "I want the tills to start unloading, I want money in bags and if you think about tripping the alarm system I'll let everyone here meet their maker." he flipped open a phone and spoke into it. "Begin the distraction."

It was a strange foreign sight to behold, the resplendent beauty of the metal shapes leaving their imprint on the ground and stretching far into the abyss of blue and white high above. Along the path was a gaggle of people wandering around with purpose and intent. The same intention that both Mammon and Dantalion had, though means were far from similar. Though with Earthlings with their ways who knows, one or two of them might have had the same intention as Mammon and Dantalion. One could simply never know what a Earthlings intention might be, unless they had Telepathy. But who really spends time learning what other people think.
Dantalion hid in the upper branches of a tree, half floating as the tree branch winged with pain, subtle cracks of wood splintering at the collar as it slowly bent down, Dantalion hunched his back over, the thorns of the tree dancing with pleasure as his shimmering white scales blocked most of the nuisance, though every coupled shake in an attempt to get comfortable a new piece of wood falling into the crack of his scales. "God damn stupid.... Why in a tree?" he thought to himself, he imagined that Mammon had thought the plan through thoroughly enough, but sitting atop on of the buildings no doubt would have worked better. There was a taunting like an aspect to his situation, the jubilant park goers wandering beneath his every step, comfort striding through them as he sat there, watching and waiting with garnet emblazoned eyes staring as they passed by.
Then came the crack, a branchlet loose its final whine as it fell below with an echoing crack. People looked with shrugs as they walked around unphased. Dantalion felt a little annoyed, as if his presence was ignored, a direct blight on his ego before coming to his senses. It must have been a common thing, or at least, not enough to get worked about. In the Demon Realm if you saw a branch randomly fall down it meant one thing. Someone was waiting for someone else. He shimmied a little, hoping that the rustling of the tree would garner some attention, would cause someone to scream and run. At least then he would have an excuse as to why he broke his cover. But no, they simply walked passed lacking a care in the world.
Dantalion shifted as his bed cloak gave out a buzz. His arms folded into his cloak pulling out from it a small ringing metallic object, what Mammon had previously called a 'phone'. When said the words seemed alien as he repeated with a strange inflection. His large digits pressed against the small buttons, pressing a little too hard as his grip was momentarily lost his hands waving back and forth as he tried to re-catch the phone. Though in the process he heard the words roll out. "Begin the Distraction." his eyes narrowed as he caught the phone with a deft motion, though a little too much force exerted as the metallic wiring squeezed out, a puff of steel dust flying out as Dantalion's eyes narrowed, the refuse settling int he confined of his oval depressions where his eyes were meant to be.
A slice of green Ki split lengthwise across Dantalion, his body beginning to rumble as he took in a deep breath, the air quickly exhaling from his lungs from clear to black, miasma quickly encompassing the entirety of the tree as walkers glared in what could be described as awe, but was more aptly defined as terror. His skin began to melt and peel off as an echoed voice bellowed from the tree, the leaves starting to wilt as his form finally began to separate into individual entities hidden beneath the veil of miasma. With a quick nod of the head, Dantalion prime shot through the air, a trail of blackened air following him as what onlookers could only describe as an oversized black bullet heading straight to Mammon.
All the while the onlookers stared at the cloud of black that had enveloped the tree. Then came a crackle, stripes of lightening wallowing in the mist of Miasma as two beady garnet lights shone out, a long line of green ki formed in his skull as he outlined his skull. The movement became apparent as a single arm peeled out, the miasma sticking to the tree as a large red mass of meat began visibly. Slowly he pulled himself out, a leg stretching out as he planted himself on the ground, looking around as the sun glistened onto his back, his scales visible with a reptile like quality. He looked around with a long drawn out smile, walking over to a nearby lamp post as people began to dash and run, some pulling out the strange 'phone' objects as they scrambled.
He gripped his hand around the lamp post as he looked not too far to his left sat a terrified couple, shivering in horror as with ease he pulled the post out of the ground dropping it with an un-climatic ring. Slowly he made his steps towards the couple, his imaginary lips pursed as he whispered in the scrawny boy's ear, "Well... What are ya gonna do about it?" he inquired condescension soaking his words as he walked behind the two, his arms dragged along the ground his knuckles leaving indents as he stood behind the two, fear entrenched in their very breath as he gripped the underside of their bench. "Well, whatcha gonna do?" he inquired with a mocking tone, pulling up the upturning the bench as the two quickly gripped the bench, an echoing scream as it landed right ways up, unharmed but definitely mentally scarred.
In the Meantime Prime had already made his way towards the bank, the miasma covering his form as he hovered above, breathing in large gouts of air, breathing it back out to maintain the miasma gripping his skin. He darted down, a resounding 'crack' echoing around as a black miasma darted through from above, garnet red eyes soaked through as slithers of green electricity darted along the miasma. "Sorry, I'm late. Took a left on the roundabout." he let loose a sniff as he stared at the surrounding people. He raised a hand through the mist, gripping a thorn of his back as a Belligerent snap echoed from his body, a quick jarring movement of the arm as a large cleaver came to view, half his size and made of pristine white bone. The miasma quickly flung to the sides of the wall as the force blasted away, letting his horned monstrous form come into clear view for all to see. "I have come to kickass...." he paused for a second, sighing as he decided to drop the rehearsed lines, they simply didn't sound as cool in practice as they did on paper. "Okay, just put the money in the bag and we can all go our separate ways. Caprice?" he responded pressing the cleaver a little into the ground as he crossed his arms glaring at the civilians with a deathly stare.

[Thread PL: 72,061]
Ever since he came back to Earth, the small tennenman remained hidden away, not wanting to interact with others due to its memories of the tournament from a long while ago. Everyone there having a look of scorn towards him, a feeling that grew the further the tournament had gone. Yet it had been literal months since then, EGG still traumatized while the world had moved on. He made due with what he had at his home, which was well over a month of food products. Other than light training in the still broken gravity chamber, EGG had been remaining rather seclusive. Though, those times had to come to an end, as the food supplies at his home finally dwindled down to a paltry few, just enough to last for a couple more days. Either he waits to the very last minute in order to go get him some food, or he prepares himself by going to the city and getting himself some food. Swallowing his own fears of being disrespected, harassed, and ridiculed in the city; EGG brought it upon himself to return to civilization, flying off of his little island home and towards the city that he assumed held the most people who liked him, due to him having saved people from burning buildings and from bug monster people. So it stood in his mind that he'd have the best chance at having semi-decent relations with the people there. After zooming through the sky and landing on the ground, the blue caped tennenman walked through the streets, seeing no need as to wear the heavier cape. He was just here on a food run, and to return to his home. Though, it's been so long since he returned to civilization, and even longer since he has been in Satan City in particular. Him walking through the streets seemed to be a normal thing, despite getting the second looks every so often. I mean, he kinda does deserve some of those looks as he really did stand out, as he didn't look like the normal majins or other aliens that visit every so often. Walking through the streets, trying to remember where the store was, he could gun shots pierce the air, his eyes widening as he recognized the sound all too well. And before he had the chance to feel out where the gun shots came from, a new presence made itself known as he spied a tree a couple blocks down the road started emanating a strong presence. A black fog curling around it as a couple of beady lights shown through, the presence within the mist growing and... multiplying!? He could feel two presences that felt identical, yet one felt hollow, fake, and just a facsimile of the other. The true being flew away, leaving a trail of black smoke while his hollow copy stumbled out of the smoke, harassing a zoan and a human who were together on a date of sorts. EGG was going to try a friendly approach, but something probed in the back of his mind, egging him on to make a connection between the two identical energies. What was in front of him right now was a copy, not the actual being. This was not a living being that actually had its own life, but rather a creation that just did what it was probably programmed to do. The only reason this connection was made was when he recalled memories of meeting Etoru, where he could swear he felt multiple versions of himself, yet only one of them had life energy brimming within them. This realization made it so that EGG would be alright with taking care of this creature as swiftly as possible, before it wreaked any more terror upon the citizens of this city. Using his vast advantage over this monster, he zooms through the sky at super sonic speeds, opening his arms out as he flew around the arm of the creature. While flying around the arm and, by extension, the bench it was holding, the pink and blue bean bot grabbed the couple, dragging them away from the conflict. Flying over to the opposite side of the street, EGG places the couple down on the sidewalk, the duo running away in opposite directions while the plant-alien faced the monstrous demon. "Evil monster!" EGG began, pointing both of his fingers at the demon, while shifting his stance sideways so that his arms pointed at the demon from the side, his face still aimed into the monster's beady eyes, "You are not true version of you, that's why I not holding back against you. I not stand for evil! I will get you and stop monster like you from harming innocent!"Once again needing to tap into his full strength, but this time having a better handle on unleashing his full power. His golden ki burst out of at full power, as EGG tapped into his Saiba rage just enough to have some good control over himself. Using his current full power, from a standing position, EGG kicks off the ground at high speed. In the air, the little cyan and magenta alien curled up in a ball, while surrounding his body with a rather intense golden ki. Hurtling through the air, EGG flew through the sky towards the demon, aiming to destroy this copy of a monster with his Deluxe Egg Roll.

Complications
It was going so well it was going right but like the proverbial calm before the storm it wouldn't last, he felt it the spike in Ki an attack that clocked out at WAY TOO GODDAMN HIGH. It was gonna be one of those days. He sauntered around the room his gun held at arm's length. "Alright people, we're gonna have to speed this up." he flipped out a cigarette from his breast pocket with the practice precision of an addict, out goes the cancer stick and on goes the lighter, breath deep of those toxic fumes. "First person to try anything is gonna get parting gifts in teflon, and I'm not talking cookware."
He began to move to the station holding out his bag with the big money sign on it, it would be funny if it wasn't for the hostages and guns. "Thank you for your donations." he let out a shrill laugh that had none of the mirth usually associated with laughter, he took a drag on his cigarette breathing out an acrid cloud of smoke as he passed people. "You've got to laugh every moment of your life, cause you'll find it decidedly difficult after Danny Boy." the first bills passed the mouth of the sack and it began to pile up, he wasn't gonna try for the safe way too dangerous and would take too long.
"Dan, we've got company or more correctly you've got company, the self that isn't here." he made a pleading motion with his gun, shaking it back and forth he could sense it but he didn't know what the hell was going on, and he doubted someone was trying to sell his friend cinnamon buns. "Grab a hostage, I'm willing to throw bodies at this problem until it goes away. We're gonna hold out here, I want somewhere enclosed were taking pot shots at us is a little too risky."
He began ruff housing people building a small wall of bodies between himself and the door. "Everyone keep calm, pretend I'm not here. Not too hard or." he mouthed the word 'BANG' and in the silence that echoed louder than any shout. "You, and you there." he had made a small circle getting people to lay around him so if he came through the walls there were people on either side, no rookie mistakes this was gonna be done professionally.

By the time Dantalion Alpha was born, things had already gone spiraling out of control, a small pink thing had appeared to save the day. And knowing his own luck, things were about to take a turn for the worse. His mind became aflutter with thoughts as the connected minds relayed back and forth the going on's, worry becoming a nuisance as Alpha took the situation into his own hands. His arms outstretched, a clear sign of submission as his jaw slowly dangled loose, unmoving as he spoke, "Excuse me, sir, I am just doing my job." he said as the man started to call him an evil monster. The words were aptly chosen but Dantalion had no intention of letting him know that. "You see, I am a paid actor, I was told to stir up a scare for a... add..." he paused as he was interrupted, it seemed this one was a little too headstrong for his own good. "Look, sir please just listen..." he continued trying to get through to the small pink man, only for a mass of Gold to start to form around him. Dantalion Alpha took a step back, his eyes wide as garnet shone brightly, his back turned as he started to form Ki. Then came the spike, a blast of intense pain rushing through as his body was quickly pounced at in the back. (Gonna let you take over and describe what happens here)
Dantalion Prime quickly fell down, his knees bent as he stared at Mammon, "Our distractions already dead... Bastard didn't even give him a chance to explain himself. Doubt he will give us a chance either." he responded to Mammon, tapping his feet against the ground as he started to direct the hostages. But Dantalion had no intention of letting this bank be his death sentence, first chance he got, he was digging down and escaping through the sewers. His cleaver swung back and fourth, a few inches away from the head of the hostages as he done his best to direct what was going to be at most a distraction.
He tapped his fingers as the money slowly poured into Mammon's bag, it was a good thing he didn't bring one himself if he did Mammon might have spent twice as much time filling up the second bag, though something was worrying him, just like everything else that was already happening, his jaw swung open fear tinging the edges of his voice as he spoke to Mammon, "Explain to me, why the hell are we busy making a circle around us, what is to stop them from flying in through the roof, and taking us both out before we even know what hits us?" he inquired, still moving along the hostages in a panicked state.

[Thread PL: 78,483] [UT] Liquid Ki - Mist Active! Ki suppressed to 10000, for some time, anyway]
It had not been a good last few weeks for our Arcosian hero, but after having some time to himself and the opportunity to think accompanied by his meeting with Maeve, Defrosch more or less ready to get back to work at some odd jobs and continue supporting the community and populace of Earth in any way he felt that he had enough energy to do so. Currently in Satan City to collect some special biscuits, a cake and a special edition Nightwitch figurine for one of the kids he had worked with at a West Capitol daycare-- having recently been contacted by their parental guardian about a babysitting job.
Defrosch casually wandered down the sidewalk across from one of the local banks, glancing over to see some sort of commotion through the windows. Someone in there had a gun, and began threatening the innocent folk in there! Defrosch growled, this could not be allowed to continue on his watch. Fully ready to have simply stormed in through the front to deal with the criminal, he paused as another being rushed past, a thick cloud of inky darkness in their wake; sudden panic seemed to have struck these two weirdos as they began ordering the civilians around. 'Great...' He couldn't simply charge in there now, he needed a better vantage point.
Luckily, he could create one. Defrosch doubled back the way he came for a moment so that he was far enough away from the bank to no longer be seen. Here, he extended his ki senses to get a better guide in regards to the distance between himself and the bank, as well as get a more detailed read on the power that the two ne'er-do-wells were packing. Not much in comparison, thankfully. He could also sense the familiar energy of a Tennenman that he knew as EGG, which was a plus. However, there was still the whole hostage situation going on, and it needed to be dealt with quickly.
So what exactly was Defrosch going to do right now? What was his advantage without an ally right next to him? The fact that he could effectively swim through the ground and walls of buildings through a mysterious technique he developed without causing any damage. He swiftly sank low into the ground before 'swimming' towards the underside of the bank, his power gracefully building as his form underwent metamorphosis just as elegantly. The moment he reached a point that was directly under the stronger robber, he shot upwards, suddenly appearing in front of him. A glow encompassed his hands as he reached out for the pale horned-gunman's face with one and his gun-wielding hand with the other to minimize pot-shots. "EVERYONE!! CLEAR THE DOOR."
The people at the door yelped in alarm, ducking down as Defrosch attempted to grab the intruder and throw them right out the door. The Arcosian wanted them out in the open, dealing with them would be easier then. "As for you." He glanced over his shoulder at the tall gangly, cleaver wielding fiend. "Harm noone. Lay down that weapon and leave, or you will receive the same abrupt exit."

Post by Aina on Jan 23, 2017 16:21:51 GMT
Aina had returned to Satan City for the first time in a few weeks as she was gathering things back to her ship. Going through and taking all of her thing she deemed worthy from her barracks and her final safe house. With them all cleaned out and her house now on her ship she was about to take off when she heard something come through the military scanner. A bank was underneath some sort of attack. She would take it upon herself to move along and head toward the bank that was underneath attack.
Placing her ship down on top of one of the nearby buildings she pulled on her weights as she wanted to move quickly and the weights did not weight her down much. Walking out of the ship she noticed an Arcosian inside of a nearby alley and she flipped down onto the ground. Suppressing her ki down to the fact she felt like that she was but a regular police office and she began to slip around to the back of the bank. Using a few things she began to pick the back door of the bank. Popping the lock with ease she slipped inside of the bank. Grabbing the dagger on her shoulder she left the back door wide open.
Noticing a Tennenman that was there as well she took a few moments to ask Lhinith for her blessing as she left the restraint on her ki and let all of her strength pour out. Turning she noticed just as Defrosch would grab the pair. If they were tossed outside Aina would move along and back over the bank. Spinning in the air she would spin to kick the flying Mammon into the ground. If the toss was unsuccessful she would move from within the bank and aim to remove the one with the gun with a snap kick aiming to put them through the roof.
{{ Ki is at 33,151. Lhinith’s Blessing Active. Heavy Weights are active. }}

(QUICK NOTE: EGG is in a different part of the city than you guys. Though that'll change in this post) Ignoring the obvious lies from the monster, as the last time the pink and blue creature felt a presence similar to this, a bug warrior appeared while she disappeared. Not wanting to have a complete repeat of this time, he zipped through the air like a cannon ball, tearing through the chest with a rather great strength. His own orb of ki that encompassed his own body tore through the monster, leaving a saibaman sized hole in the torso of this demonic beast. The form of this beast started fading away into nothingness, as it was nothing but a mere copy of someone else's soul and body. It was not a complete person, didn't own its own life, and that was why EGG was merciless with this beast. If it really did possess an actual life, energy that indicated that it was not just a carbon copy but an actual person, things would have went much more differently. Though, as EGG had finished up this distraction, he closed his own eyes while focusing on the life energies around him, trying to find the original version of the demonic presence which created that beast. It took no time at all, as he could feel him around a huge area of others, with a familiar Defrosche around the scene, along with yet another demonic presence that felt different, and then a presence which was similar to Emer, but not quite... Though, the fact that there were two dark presences right next to each other was quite startling. Not wanting to waste any time, EGG shot up in the air and followed the trail of dark miasma created by the previous demon to the bank. While flying in the air though, the once controllable power that he hated using, his Saiba rage, started fading. His power dwindled back to its normal self... Yet it was not in EGG's control. Rather shocked, thinking that he had finally gotten full control of his own powers, EGG lost his full power rather abruptly. Worried, the small flying tennenman flying in the sky tried to re-activate his own powers, yet couldn't tap into his own rage! On the one hand, he was rather glad that he can not even tap into a power that he so detested in using, only using it to handle situations in a quick effective matter. On the other hand, what if he fought beings that were much stronger than he was, needing to get his full power, yet being unable to and thus failing as a hero. Tossing aside that small worry for now, the small pink and blue tennenman decided to focus his mind on a different matter. Arriving on the scene, EGG landed on the sidewalk opposite of the bank, seeing a weird white haired woman approaching the scene, attempting to stop the robbers herself. EGG ran across the empty street, as no one was driving down the road in which a crime was being held, and stopped on the sidewalk. Sliding down onto his knees, he would say with such vigor, "STOP! Criminal Beware, your villainous actions will stop today! For I am Star Cadet EGG"The little guy was so proud of the hero name that Captain Nova gave him...

((Finally! An open DE to join! This is gonna be FUN!))
[Current PL: 29,005, Heavy Weights On, Reduced PL: 7,251]
Kale stood in line somewhat impatiently while he waited for the collection of people to die down. The Saiyan never stepped foot into a bank of any sorts before in his life. While he found the atmosphere was calming and serene, he was not a fan of the lines that typically came packaged with the buildings.
Today was the day that the Saiyan would finally open up a bank account since he and his parents began their life on Earth. While the latter didn't believe in leaving their money in the care of others, Kale knew that the act of opening an account was a smart thing to do in the long run since banks were safeguarded and helped the patron accumulate interest.
It was as though a higher power heard Kale's wish for action. A commotion arose from a masked figure with a weapon. Then, a second individual joined in. While the terrified civilians hit the deck, Kale remained standing. As happy as he was that he could have the chance to fight, the Saiyan was also equally worried about the safety of the people. His face turned to an expression of concern, and determination.
"Let these people go," Kale ordered, "or you'll have to answer to me." He now turned to face the perpetrators. "What's it going to be?" Kale remained there, stoic in his stance and demeanor. A horned man with an uzi, and one with a cleaver. Weapons that posed no threat to him, as far as Kale could discern. "Didn't your mothers ever teach you that it wasn't nice to steal from others? And before you say it, don't give me that spiel about how sharing is caring."
Before Kale could get a response, he witnessed none other than Defrosch arriving on the scene while the Arcosian made an attempt to attack one of the thieves. Kale smirked. His blood was beginning to grow hot from his Saiyan heritage. "Hey, Defrosch. Long time!"

Everything Is Fine
Things were happening at a breakneck pace, I mean one-minute king of the world or at least bank, now improv frisbee. It happened like this "If you don-" he was cut off as 'A' the Arcosian appeared out of the floor and 'B' sent him sailing through the air rag doll style, the door shuddered and slammed open as he was tossed out into the street and this would've been fine if not for insult to injury some white-haired mothertrucker spin kicked him midair.
He decided as he was flying this was not his day, he rolled on the road finally coming to halt planted half way through a car, and like the mystical touch of the Fonz the demons abuse flicked on its radio and it started screaming out the lyrics to a 'Caeer of Evil', he should've enjoyed the irony but the first signs of a monster headache were coming on. "Who does that, what kind of person sees another person flying past and goes I'm gonna kick him. SCREW you."
But, it wasn't a total loss he still had his loot sack and the heavy slapping of paper within was reassuring, he reached in pulling out stacks of bills and began sticking them down his pants letting his belt hug the zeni in place, if he lost the sack he wasn't going empty handed. "YOU FOOLS!" he put on his best Sunday morning villain voice, and to toot his own horn it was good. "Arrest me now and you make but two arrests, but in an hour an entire city block turns to ash and thousands perish! My associate and I have planted bombs all over the city, if we do not put the correct code in at the designated location all this will turn into a charnel house!" he stood up and opened his arm's to the encompassing the city in that gesture 'I'm making a career of evil' the car chimed in at that exact moment, he was dramatic as all hell. Literally.
After that he picked out another choice cancer stick, he had to drop the habit. He only did it for the nicotine he told himself for the thousandth time, he was gonna need a bottle of painkillers soon as the pain set in, and there was the pain like a slow moving train against a slower moving pigeon. "I have some demands, my first is painkillers."

Post by Speenatch on Jan 24, 2017 7:01:37 GMT
The Unbreakable Mister Steel… aka Speenatch Peabody, was once more back in the city of his birth. Satan City. And, much like the last time he visited, he was wearing his “civilian” outfit. A denim vest over a dark-brown t-shirt, a pair of blue jeans, his cherry-red fingerless gloves… and his pink boots. Hot pink boots. His hair was still in its luscious, mullet-fluff-mane form, and he still wore a pair of mirrored shades on his face. He also wore a backpack. Well, more like carried one, slinging it over his shoulder with one hand while he walked. The other was stroking the man’s goatee.
As he put one foot in front of the other, this man was singing a little ditty to himself. One which he was making up as he went along via that wonderful little process of "improvisation".
“Got a lil’ bit o’ zeni in ma pocket from some good hard work… Got a lotta zeni here so fergive ma smirk. Now I’ll put in tha bank like a reasonable man, open up an account cause finally I can…~” He stopped singing after a moment, his smile fading. He… he felt something. A lot of power coming from the direction of the Satan City National Bank. As well as a park close by the building.
‘An’ those powers are spikin’... there’s a fight goin’ on there.’ He growled and tightened up his fist as he began to compress his ki. Then, he took flight, rushing to the bank as quickly as he could while keeping his energy hidden. ‘Great, looks like tha criminals o’ this city finally bothered ta get some trainin’ in tha ol’ art o’ Ki manipulation. And… oh… it’s those “demons” in there. Which means tha really strong guys are prolly there ta stop things.’
He landed on top of a building that had the advantage of overlooking both the park and the bank. Once up there, he could see… what appeared to be Dantalion being blasted to bits by a weird-colored Saibaman. And, following that, Mammon flying right out of the bank building… his flight was interrupted by a white-haired girl kicking him to the ground.
‘An Arcosian?! And a… a…’ His mouth dropped, and his body shook and shivered before freezing up. Only the smallest twitches came as he finished his thought, while a vice held tight onto his heart. ‘Saiyan… A freakin’ Saiyan!’ He ducked down, hopefully before either of the fellows with tails could see him.
‘Okay, let’s not panic, Speenatch. Ya met Saiyans that don’t wanna kill everythin’ before… and this one seems ta be interested in takin’ on tha “demon”. Which means he might not kill everyone in tha city! He's prolly just here ta stop tha robbery... Same with tha Arcosian. Still… way too many aliens around fer my likin’.’ He poked his head up and glanced over towards Egg. The pink and blue Saibaman, technically a “Tenneman” variant, but Speenatch didn’t know what those were.
What he did know, however, was that this Saibaman was stronger than him. Way, way stronger. Heck, he was stronger than the Saiyan himself!
He also knew that Saibamen were quick-grown, front-line grunts for Saiyans.
‘Crappioli! If that Saibaman’s this strong… that might mean… tha Saiyans are makin’ em stronger! They must’ve taken a lesson from those android guys that fought Oozaru on tha news and made THEIR guys even stronger. Although… this guy ain’t killin’ nobody. Maybe ‘is handler ain’t around ta bark orders…’
He gave another sigh and flopped back down, hiding behind the little wall that topped the building. ‘Aw well, guess I don’t get ta be a hero today neither… I’ll just wait an’ see if any civvies need a clearin’ er a pick-up, I guess.’
Then… he heard it… the bomb threat. Mammon had shouted it with such a booming voice, that the sound carried up to the top of the not-quite-a-skyscraper that Speenatch had situated himself on. Bombs? Those wouldn’t be a threat to any of the fighters around…
‘But a lotta civvies are gonna wind up in lil’ pieces if he’s tellin’ tha truth… And none of these fellers know about his weaknesses. Or how stubborn he is. Which means…’
Speenatch took in a deep, deep breath. One that he slowly exhaled. Following that, he stood his stocky body up, turned around, and stepped off the building. He used his flight ability to silently float to the ground, only making a noise when the soles of his boots lightly tapped against the concrete. Despite the fear that was making his heart beat a mile a minute, he put on a confident smirk. He also opened his mouth to speak with his "stage voice". The one he used when he stopped being Speenatch Peabody, and became "Mister Steel".
“Hey ol’ buddy, ol’ pal…” He made sure he was very close to Mammon’s back when he said this. “Fancy seein’ ya here… in that get-up. Wut, did bein’ a forest nymph wind up goin’ as well fer ya as bein’ a desperado?” He shrugged and continued before the “demon” could fully answer. He made sure to pause for just enough time that Mammon would be able to start speaking before he was cut off, though. Just to be cheeky.
“Well, whatever… thing is, I came down ‘ere ta ask ya a different question. And, fergive me if I sound a bit like a broken record but…” He turned his head so his shade covered eyes stared right as Mammon’s own. While his eyebrows furrowed and his smile faded… “Is tha bomb threat real? Is ta bomb threat real?” He gave another pause…
“Is… tha… bomb… threat… real?” He waited for the fellow’s answer, ignoring any attempts at communication from anyone else until he got it. His eyes were entirely focused on the villain’s. Watching… waiting… knowing full well that Mammon just had to give it. No matter how long he tried to hold it in.

Dantalion's eerie light flashed back and forth as the numbers appeared and approached. First was the misty cold that had tossed Mammon with great ease. Then came a familiar face, though not from personal confrontation, though the opulent sheen of hair was undeniable. After that came a brash young man, spewing off a pompous speech. By this point, Dantalion's fingers ran the length of his long jutting jaw, a small sigh as the garnet light dissipated into an empty eye socket. Then came what he could only assume, though in truth it was more hopeful thinking, that it was the last to appear. The man with no restraint. The one, the only. The Jackass who killed Dantalion Alpha.
With the subtlest of movements, with everyone's attention drawn on Mammon, he snapped off a toe, the smallest of washes of Ki running down the length of his leg against the toe as he imbued some Demon Healing into the thing. He had so far lost his backup dummy and decided that with Mammon's pretentious attitude, he was likely to pull the two of them into death row. The toe dug a little down as flicks of tentacles began to spawn, it had become the catalyst for a backup. Unless the planet would be destroyed within the course of the year, he should at least have another Demon to carry on the legacy of villain. Though knowing this galaxy, he would likely be stopped before he could even manage to pull off a heist.
Dantalion's eyes flared to life as he let loose a long-winded sigh, a brow raised as his jaw began to rumble and rattle, before hanging down ajar, "Is there really no other Villains on this planet? Really? Not a single goddamn one?" he inquired as he slowly drew his cleaver up high above his head, his hand twisting back at an odd angle as he sheathed his blade back into his skin, leaving nothing more than a Thorn in its place. There was a miss match of unintelligible banter and monolog going on so he decided to take his chance to address each one while Mammon was busy dealing with a headache.
First, he turned to EGG, his finger pointed as his brow line raised, "First of all, EGG is it? You need to stop being so brash and murdering people who..." he paused, thinking up how to respond to such a volatile man, "In all honesty, at most are being a public nuisance. Even in the Demon realm, that is called, going too far." he responded, to his heroic antics, he had the power to back up his statement, but the Charisma is a key feature of any hero and straight up murder isn't exactly what Dantalion would call forthcoming.
Next, he turned to what he assumed was an Earthling, "As for you. That line you said, about mothers? First of all. I don't have one, second, no self-respecting villain would ever use the line sharing is caring. Ever." heavy emphasis placed onto the ever, it was almost insulting to villains, and it made him realize how dire a state this galaxy was in if lines such as that were considered a valid response.
Next, he turned to the opalescent sheen of the Kagami. "You... Other than kicking Mammon in the head... Good work ya didn't monolog like the rest of them." 'he was impressed they managed to hold themselves back, maybe realizing that a three people monolog was already overkill. "But still. Like he just said, kicking someone while they're flying. Dick, move. Not at all hero like." he continued before turning over to the Arcosian, his brow furrowed as a sharpened diagonal cut morphed his eye sockets.
"As for you." his tone grew sinister as crackles of electricity began to form around his body, a deep breath taken in as a heaping of black miasma released from his nostrils, landing against the floor and quickly spreading out, covering, for the most part, the still bent over people of the Bank as Dantalion's head bent to the side. "I am getting the money I want. And I will start my Bakery so I don't have to deal with pompous heroes coming out of the blue and causing me trouble when I just want some Zeni." he responded to the man, his back twisting straight as his full eight feet of height was reached his fingers till chiming the tune along the length of his arm. He didn't want a full-fledged bakery, in truth his plan was a little more dickish than Mammon's. Start up a makeshift business on the side of the road, fill the buns with laxatives and start stealing purses when the people ran off to the bathroom.
As he finished up so did Mammon about planting Bombs, Dantalion remembered he had a backup plan, but he didn't know what it was he was getting him to plant. In truth being only around for a few months with little access to information one tends to just follow along with the plans. Only for them to be interrupted by Spinach, "Oh for fu... Why are you here? Isn't there a dance going on somewhere else!" he yelled out exacerbated, Ki, channeled into his throat, before unhinging his jaw, his voice amplified as he spoke, "Is there any other asshole here who wants to stop a god-damn heist! Anyone else? Anyone else in this city who wants to play the hero!?" he screamed in defiance, this lot might be heroes but they shouldn't attack without provocation. It is what most good heroes do, though it seemed the time of what he considered a true hero had passed, and in their place, there was nothing more than a bunch of hot headed monologs. A single hand rose from the miasma, a small zone boy quickly shut Down as Dandelion turned, "Put ya hand down! You don't get to play hero now that there are a ton of other heroes here to do your work." quiet contemplation ran over the man as he slowly lowered his hand, a decent point made at the very least.

It seemed as though more people of the 'heroic' mindset were swarming in, and the first to make their presence known was a woman with white hair and an interesting feel to her energy-- an odd spiritual duality even-- much like the Kagami Mimikku that Defrosch had met a while back, though in this case that duality was slightly dimmer. Her entrance synchronized quite well with the Arcosian's throw too. Indeed, they were an interesting individual in many respects, but there was no point in dwelling on it.
EGG had finally arrived as well, and with a vigorous spirit and somewhat goofy pose he made his declaration; that the villain's actions were to cease immediately. The walking smoke machine of a demon had the bright idea of sticking around, to berate the actions of those that opposed them, as most villains tend to do. What he said was odd. EGG didn't seem the type to kill, though he was held at bay for a moment earlier while dealing with something that in that moment felt identical to the man that was now addressing him. EGG also came from the same direction as the man did a while ago, so Defrosch concluded that either a construct of sorts was willed into existence or the demon could pull off something like Etoru's multiform technique.
There was another friendly face around too. Apparently Kale had at least been nearby or was already in the building, that certainly explained the second ping of a familiar energy on the side. "There will be time for a proper reunion later, Kale. We just have to deal with this situation first. Speaking of..." Defrosch turned to face the increasingly aggravated Dantalion, giving them a cold, blank stare of indignant indifference, the Arcosians aura would promptly ignite and liquefy, spreading faster than the miasma, aiming to wash it away.
As far as Defrosch was concerned the only thing this guy was going to get was a ticket aboard the pain train and not money. Kais above why didn't people just try and earn funding the right and noble way? If Defrosch could do it then honestly anyone could.
Defrosch was about to give one last warning, but Dantalion complained even further as a very oddly dressed human had come across the proverbial train-wreck of a scene, seemingly to poke fun at and belittle ringleader of this little heist, who had the audacity to bring out a bomb threat. Now the gloves were off. "You know what? Stuff this." The same glow from before suddenly encompassed the Arcosian hero's right hand as he zipped up beside Dantalion, aiming to give him a good old incapacitating chop to the back of his neck, and then throw him out the door as well... But not as hard, that would be going too far.
With one of the robbers likely indisposed, Defrosch also exited the bank to not witness that strange new human with a hairdo from at least a decade ago asked Mammon the same question in a rather taunting manner three times in a row; wanting to know if the bomb threat was real. Just what purpose did that serve? Either way, if the bombs were legit or not, Defrosch would still want to call up the BBA and ask them to do a sweep of the city, just in case.

As her foot made contact with Mammon’s head she was cracking a smile as she spun and landed on the ground about thirty feet from Mammon after he impacted the ground. When he got up and screamed at her she lifted her arm and flipped him off. She could not care what he would think as someone who was stuffing their own pants with Zeni. “Someone who would rather take you in alive instead of dead… Cause if I wanted you dead you would be dead. And I am not hero. Just a hired killer that needs to work off a way to not be sent to prison.”
Reaching to her hidden visor button she would depress the button to send to the local Blue Banner Army location a signal of a bomb threat within Satan City. There would be a confirmation code and she would be pressing the buttons as many other presences seemed to gather around and she would receive a confirmation that the forces were mobilizing to find the bombs with the full force of the local Blue Banner Army using all of its technological and ki based abilities to find them if it was true. “Sometimes you should keep your mouth shut til after you have your backup plan actually secured. As about a quarter of the Blue Banner Army is now coming into the city to begin searching for your so called bombs if they even exist.”
Closing her own eyes she felt Defrosch as he fired off a attack at Dantalion. The attack was pretty impressive as she narrowed her eyes at Mammon. “If you have bombs I guess then that we will have to move and disarm them.. Night night.” Crushing her hand behind her back she fired off a ki blast directly at Mammon’s chest. Aiming to knock the wind out of him and KO the demon with the sapphire blast right at his chest.

As EGG made his entrance, it seems a gaggle of others arrived, all of which wanting to have a part in this madness. Are they crazy!? This was a pair of deadly demons, though one was already at half the strength that he was outputting, and the other was still rather strong. The saiyan and the human arrived seemed to have some kind of connection with the criminal demons, but their powers were rather low compared to everyone else, just arriving to probably piggyback off of the successes of the people who will get the work done. While thinking about the differences in their powers, the small tennenman heard something particularly odd from one of the villains, ranting to each and every person about their faults as a hero. At first, the little pink guy was rather hurt by these words, as it was rather true that he pretty much destroyed that carbon copy of himself. On top of this, remembering the actions of Captain Nova, of which the adorable bean bot assisted him in stopping a bank robbery at that time as well, with less violence. Though it doesn't really apply to the random mooks who were shooting their bullets through the air and rockets at the heroes, as they were threats that needed to be dismantled. He shook his own head, trying to stay determined in his own brand of justice. Trying to figure that having a show of his power would be enough to scare them enough to actually stop their activities, and maybe even persuade them to the good sides. As these people might be those who may not have been lucky enough to live the lives that everyone else has had. If given a chance, they may have a nice chance of actually becoming some rather nice guys. Viewing the guy inside the bank about to get slammed by Defrosche, EGG knew just by feeling the ki the arcosian emitted was too great for the little guy to handle, especially since he was now unable to use his full power. Although, the same can not be said for the demon who made the bomb threat, which startled the little Saibaman greatly. The fact that bombs might have been planted throughout the city was instantly a major threat, something that can wreak havoc like no other. While some tried to take the threat seriously, apparently others were acting heavily nonchalant about this bomb threat. Although the bright haired woman seemed to be rather nonchalant as she was having many BBA units search the city, EGG could not rest as it is more than likely that the demon had a trigger of sorts that can activate the bombs on him. No good villain wouldn't have one. "NO!" EGG cried out loud, swiftly creating a hollow orb and crushing it, all so a rather translucent orb of ki surrounded Mammon, defending him from the attack of Aina, his strong barrier able to barely hold out against Aina's rather astute attack. After defending the would-be criminal, EGG would continue, "This not right way treat villain. Yeah may do evil, but is not reason to punch into ground without mercy. Plus, who can say if criminal has actual trigger or not, meaning his bomb threat can not be confirm until BBA actually search. For now, just restrain and keep awake, in event that we get locations of bombs!"
All the while, the Barrier still stood, containing Mammon inside all on his lonesome, preventing him from escaping and preventing others from harming him.
