The sounds of boot clad footsteps filled the air atop one of the numerous buildings deep within the ever-proud West City. A lone figure shrouded by the darkness of night was running across the roof tops of the fair city. This shadowy figure glanced up to the starry sky above as it reached the edge of the towering building it was on. With no hesitation whatsoever the figure would leap towards the stars in the sky. “Holy smokes! That psycho just jumped off that building!!! That guy's gonna off himself!” A concerned citizen cried out in horror as he watched the figure suddenly leap from the tall buildings above. Suicide wasn't the figures intent however, far from it! As one citizen would surely correct the hysterical passerby that watched the figure boldly leap into the air. “No! That's not a jumper!” A more knowledgeable citizen corrected the (understandably) worried passerby. “That's that one super hero! Captain Nova!” They called out excitedly as the pointed up to the figure who, sure enough, erupted in a golden aura and began streaking across the air like a golden bullet. The up and coming hero had become a bit of a media darling after footage of him saving the single mother and her child during Darksteel's attack was displayed for most of the world to see. While some criticized him for letting Darksteel and his goons get away the reactions to this new costumed hero were overwhelmingly positive. It also helped that a few of the survivors from Mint Village (the small village that Gula, The Silver Dynamo, razed earlier) spoke out and let the world know what transpired in their frosty little village. Though while the recognition was nice Nicolas was more happy to be of some use and of some help to others. He grinned as he shot through the air at new blazing speeds, his visage akin to a shining star that cut across the sky. He was strong, a lot stronger than he had been when he fought the crazed saiyan or the ambitious android. In fact, the surge of strength and the knowledge and experience he gained from each ordeal seemed unreal. He was slowly going from someone with some powers and a crazy dream to becoming a legitimate hero. Though he still had a long way to go... At the moment the costumed hero was merely flying about and keeping vigilant. Beneath his gold reflective visor his eyes were scanning the streets searching for any would be evil doers. A heroes work was never done and if things were quiet it just meant something dastardly was hiding behind the corner!

[Thread PL 8552]
Water splashed around him as boots clamped down hard on pavement. The night in West City rarely rested for those who like stuffing their pockets with filthy cash. His target was right there, booking it in front of him through a dark alleyway. The slippery devil got a grand headstart on him earlier, which would explain the distance now as they ran past garbage and other debris during their run. Darkus was quick to snatch him up before he got out of the narrow spacing though and slammed him to a wall. Using the stalling moment to then to spin him on around and choke him out.
“I’ll leave you for the local law enforcement.” Darkus himself was cladded in a suit of his own. Trenchcoat, boots, a balaclava to cover everything but his eyes on his face. It was a more ideal look for one whom was more adept to sneaking and remaining secretive rather than flashy and obvious super-heroey. His voice carried with it something stoic, but young. “Thought people would know better by now.” Soon enough with the perpetrator knocked out. The bag he carried confiscated before being tied up for the law to deal with. After that he’d raise his hand to hold part of his right ear. A voice coming through as electronics kicked in.
“You got the thief? Easy enough?” Gus, his old man, spoke to him through earpiece communications that, to anyone else, wouldn’t make a noise. His voice rough and old with a pinch of authoritative. It was all in Darkus’s head though. To respond back, he’d simply think on what he said and direct it back as he tapped a part of his ear. Speaking without even moving his mouth.
“Yeah. Didn’t get too far either. I’m not sure why he bothered.” Darkus was on his way back with the stolen goods in hand, looking up between the buildings he came down from just seconds ago.
“People never learn. Since you made time go ahead and get the goods back, I’ll see if security’ll pick anything else up for us.” Darkus took one giant leap to the left building to jump back onto the roof of it, several stories up. Upon landing he’d dent part of the roof on accident. It’d go unnoticed.
“Right. Ping me when you get something.” He’d drop his other hand from his ears to hang up the connection, perfectly content with handing the goods back to the family in the room right from where the rooftop exit goes back down into the building.

While most of the city was singing the praises of the ever flashy Captain Nova (and to some extent the shadowy 'Reaper' known only as Darkus.) There were a few that spat on the names of the city's would be 'heroes.' Namely: The prisoners they managed to bring to justice. Some of these various rogues and villains were locked up within a prison behind tall walls of stone just outside the city. The blight that was hidden away from the rest of the city.
The prison was home to a variety of different criminals. The cells that lined the various halls were like steel cages containing animals within. These 'animals' were all violent criminals. Some were vicious killers, others were just brutish thugs. Either way, they were where they belonged: A heavily guarded cage with security tighter than an iron fist. No one could get in or out without being detected, it was completely impenetrable. That's what the guards and warden believed anyway...
Within one of the numerous cells was a rather fearsome looking alligator zoanthrope. The beast was huge, he stood at well over six feet and had a bulking physique that was sculpted to destroy any of his would be 'prey.' His orange jumpsuit that he was required to wear covered most of the tattoos that were carved in his scale like hide but some of the tribal designs were still visible on his face and maw. His long snout was muzzled constantly due to the numerous dagger like teeth that rest in his maw and his once brutally sharp claws had been filed down to a nonlethal point. He was the leader of the gang that Captain Nova took out on his first day. It was thanks to Nicolas' super heroics that the gator was chained to the stone hell that was the prison.
This lonely night the gator was laying in his uncomfortable cot listening to a radio that he had paid a weaselly fellow a few cigarettes to smuggle in for him. A few pounding beats played through the cheap speakers of the small plastic radio as a rap artist spat some rhymes. The gator closed his eyes and sighed lowly, the heavy bass and sharp lyrics was surprisingly enough a source of relaxation for the beast. His eyes shot open however as the song finished and the DJ took a moment to speak.
"Hey everyone this next one goes out to my homeboy Captain N, and by N I mean Nova! This dude is keepin' the streets safe and lookin' out for the little man. This next one is to you everyone give him a shout out!" The excited DJ's tone caused the gator's relaxed sigh to shift to a fierce snarl. The memory of the hero flickered before him, almost as if it were mocking him.
Hero. That's what he called himself. What a joke! Though the real punchline was that he was taken down by such a moronic twerp. The gator hissed as his rage got the best of him and he crushed the comparatively tiny radio in his hands. Chips of plastic and a few sparks went flying as the cheap radio was pulverized by his fury.
"That fucking caped freak! If I had another shot I'd smash his smug face in! I'd make him swallow his teeth! If he weren't in the way I woulda been king of the streets! I could take what I want when I want! No one would be able to stop me!" He snarled throwing away the crumpled mess of plastic and electronics. "I'd be rich! Everyone would know who was the apex predator! Who was KING!"
"My my~ Such aggression and hatred! It all stems from the greed overflowing in your heart! How absolutely... Exquisite~" The air became suddenly icy cold as an overly sanguine voice melted into his mind. The gator looked around for the source, standing from his cot. "Would you really do anything for the power to take what you want? To abscond with the hard earned riches of the common fool? Don't answer... I know you would~ You're a simple minded thug in a world of fools. I can appreciate your single mindedness however~" The voice cooed as a shadow bled into the cell. Flames black as ink would burn for a moment as a hooded figure of an ambiguously gendered humanoid slowly formed. The only thing the Gator could see under the hooded cloak was a sharp pointed jaw, pale skin, and a few locks of long silver hair that cascaded downwards.
"Who the hell are you?! What the hell are you talking about?!" The gator snapped through his muzzle as he glared at the strange figure. "Are you mocking me?! Cause I'll snap you like a fucking twig!" He snarled as he moved to tower over the cloaked figure.
"Peace friend, I mean you no offense or harm...In fact, I aim to aid you in your endeavors..." The figure spoke with a silken voice and a snake's tongue. "Just call me your benefactor..." The figure grinned. "You seek power yes? Power to crush some irksome heroes? Well, have you by chance heard of the demon realm...And the star of Makyo?"
"What the hell are you talking about? How is this supposed to help me?!" The gator hissed as he glared down to the figure. A Cheshire smile spread across the strange figure's face as it looked up to the zoanthrope. This great brute with a heart full of hatred and greed was going to bring great fun...
Captain Nova reached the edge of the city. He scanned through most of the streets and things seemed quiet. There were no major chases or scares but he couldn't help but feel an ominous feeling. He crossed his arms as he hovered high in the air, a confused frown forming as he looked down to the various glimmering lights of the city. "Hmmm things are still quiet huh? I guess I shouldn't be hoping for trouble but things seem...Off... Like I can't help but shake this feeling." He muttered to himself ( a bad habit he seemed to have) before he sighed, clearly bothered by the strange atmosphere.
"C'mon... Stop freaking out so much! You've just been over thinking things since that Darksteel thing! Just stay focused and be happy things are chill!" He scolded himself as he suddenly began to violently scratch at his shaggy brown hair (another bad habit he had.) His eyes widened as he heard a dull rumble coming from the prison. "Eh? What's going..." He began to ask himself before the undeniable sound of an alarm began bl;aring into the night sky followed by a faint but still loud enough to be caught:
"HEEEELLLLAAAAAAPPPPP!!!"

The couple in the room before him were eager to get their property back. Smiles on their faces as they opened the door for the young man. After a short exchange of items the masked crusader turned to walk away without so much as another word. The man of the room called back to Darkus though just before he reached the rooftop entrance. “Who are you, sir?”
“Call me… Darkus.” Darkus glanced back and answered through the cloth of his balaclava. “Stay safe.” It was the only other thing he gave them. It seemed the man had more questions to ask, but Darkus had already slipped back to the rooftops he came from. Leaving him with my questions to ask with that answer.
On the rooftop, a ping in his ear rang off. Once, Twice, Thrice. Until Darkus finally managed to raise his hand back to to his ear and tap on the embedded earpiece. Gus was speaking again. “Okay. So I’m gettin’ reports of a man jumping around on rooftops wearing a superhero costume. Not sure what that’s about, but apparently he’s hovering near the city. Might be worth checking him out.” As intriguing as that was Darkus couldn’t help but sigh to himself. Stretching his limbs on out while he had time to spare.
“Hnn... Anything more serious?” The young man would respond as he did his stretching. As limber as he always was, it never hurt to be ready.
“Not currently.” Gus’s words were soon followed by a muted blast from around the area. This made Darkus free in a leg stretch that had one leg poised up to parallel his head as he stood. Awkward as he slowly lowered it back down.
“What was that?” Darkus would ask the man through thought. Soon an alarm would start shouting in the city. “A bank?”
“Not quite.” The old man seemed to pause for a moment, supposedly looking up data. “Seems someone’s attempting prison escape.” Which honestly should not be a surprise at this point. Darkus ran through a check on his equipment as he thought back.
“I’ll go check that. Keep tabs on the cosplayer if you can.” he’d run through all of his equipment with little trouble. Now he stepped near the edge of the rooftop, observing distance between the next. And the next. And the next. “It’s the City’s official prison, yes?”
“Mhm. The big one. Shouldn’t need directions to it.” With that Darkus nodded.
“Ping me if you need me. I’m off.” With that he took his hand away from his ear, dropping connection. bending at the knees for just a moment, he would start jumping buildings. It wasn’t that hard of a feat, all things considered.

Captain Nova shot through the air like the golden bullet that he was. His posturing and heroic phrases being pushed aside momentarily as he cut through the sky at a breakneck pace. The sounds of the alarms and a few unmistakable cracks of gunfire only inspired him to go faster. Whatever was going on was serious, serious enough to swoop in and be a hero! Nicolas tensed as he heard another strange rumbling followed by a sudden explosion that briefly lit the night. Captain Nova covered his face as a few chunks of concrete whizzed by his form. "Yipes... What's going on down there?!" The young man questioned himself in his overly heroic tone of voice. He glanced down to the prison and watched as a plume of smoke began wafting in the air slowly from the destruction from within. His eyes narrowed beneath his visor as he flew through the smoke and into the prison. He ended up slipping in through a gaping hole in the wall that looked to have formed from an explosive force. As he slipped into the burning cell he would look into the heavily secured prison. What he saw was pure chaos. The cell he entered in was completely open, red hot remains of smoldering steel bars were the only thing stopping him, and whatever used to be locked up within, from getting out to the rest of the prison. Guards were scrambling everywhere he could see. Some were desperately firing their weapon while others used their radios to beg and call out for backup. Various different criminals clad in orange jumpsuits stood at the edge of their cells and shook at their bars. They yelled out at the top of their lungs, adding to the ensuing chaos. Some begged for their release, some jeered at the faltering guards, others just threw whatever they could get their hands on out of their cells into the center of the prison. Standing at the center of the chaos was a monstrosity unlike anything Captain Nova had ever seen. A fearsome beast of scales, muscle, and teeth stood before him and everyone else. The hulking creature towered over everyone in the room and had muscles so massive that it looked like it's body couldn't contain them. Nicolas could see various disgusting tears in the vile thing's skin that revealed pulsing muscles and a skeleton that could barely hold the thing together. The demonic thing must have had some sort of healing factor however as the more it's body tore and pulsed the more it slowly began stitching itself back together. With a distorted hiss the creature would look back to Captain Nova with one of it's eyes that was consumed in a faint purple glow.  "C-CAPTAINNNN NNNNNOOOOVVVVAAAAAA!"
The demonic alligator's distorted voice rumbled throughout the prison. It turned to loom over the costumed crusader before opening it's massive jaws to let out a piercing roar with the force to shake the prison. Nicolas took a step back, a look of shock and horror gracing his features as he took in the horrifying visage of the half demonic zoanthrope. One question filtered across the heroes mind as the beast snapped it's bloody jaws at him a few times. How did it know his name? He stared at the horror for a long moment before he recognized the faint etchings of the tribal tattoos on it's scales.
"Oh...Shit...." Nicolas cursed, in his own voice briefly before he regained his ground. Gathering his courage he would call out to the guards around him. "EVERYONE! STAY BACK AND DEAL WITH ANY OTHER ESCAPEES AND CONVICTS. I'll handle this one myself! Trust me! I'm a hero!" He called out in his heroic tone as took a wide stance while he dramatically pointed upwards with one arm and placing the other firmly on his hip. He ended up moving his pointing finger towards the beast before shouting. "It's time to take out the trash!"
