Shine on Dazzling Hero! Even in the Fires of Danger! [Open]

The western capitol was a place she had not travelled back to many times since its near destruction over a year earlier. She had been just passing through the town the day that the world seemed to be tossed on its head that day and yet she had not had an inkling to return since that day. Yet today she had headed into the town to gather up supplies for another one of her several month long sabbatical into the wilderness and her training. Looking around she saw a few slightly faded posters about a cloaked figure beating up criminals. It brought a smile to the older woman’s face cause of the novelty of the whole caped crusader of justice thing. :: You know Mimi if that is more than a way to deter criminals and the man is actually alive then that is a symbol for the people. One that is not in the Blue Banner or some other mystical position of strength or even political position. To me it just looks like an average joe standing up for what they believe in. It is commendable. IT is commendable Lilith. Of that I have no qualms as so long as he does the right thing then there is never anything to worry about. Though when things get rough how do you think he would react to things? ::

Turning away she hefted the small backpack onto her back as she turned to walk in an East direction. Passing store fronts and small cafes as she walked along she would hear the distant cries of sirens. To her it was just a reminder that this was a much larger city and was quite possibly a robbery or something else going on when she stopped beside one of the news kiosks. Breaking News banner crossed the screen and it showed a large building engulfed in flames in several places at once. Looking at the monitor she noticed that there were people hanging on balconies outside of the building. Her breath caught in her throat as she looked at the monitor. Clenching her fist she turned away from the monitor.

Lifting her gaze she saw the smoke on the horizon and closed her eyes for a moment. :: Lilith you can yell at me all you want should we wind up dead… I just cannot let people sit inside of such an inferno. We do this together and we can do this and save many of them. So let us do this alongside the fire department. ::

Taking in a deep breath she burst off the ground with a burst of ki swirling about her. Once she cleared the buildings surrounding her she found were the smoke was rising from and saw the flashing lights in the distance. Hearing out from one side she noticed someone who looked like the man within the posters. She would burst forth toward the man’s side to follow him toward the fire. Yelling out loud enough to overcome the air whooshing past the pair. “Would you like a hand Captain?”

The name from the posters came back to her as she flew beside him. She was hoping for a positive reaction but then again her blood red eyes and tealish green hair tended to throw people for a loop.

"There he is..."

A cloaked figure sat silently a few rooftops away, his eyes trained on the heroic Captain Nova as he spoke into a communication device. If one knew Nova well, they'd probably be aware of the fact that Nova's compatriot was the android known as Donna. The Crimson Android was a gift from an old friend, and she seemed to be quite comfortable in her position as the Caped Crusader's sidekick.

As Nova took to the skies, the hooded stalker quickly followed suit, taking to sprinting through back allies and hopping over rooftops rather than following through the sky. He was able to keep a decent pace with the hero, but purposefully held back to not get himself caught early. He wanted to reveal himself at just the right time, after all.

It was quickly made obvious what Nova's destination was: in the distance, a huge plume of smoke rose into the sky, most likely coming from a building coated in flames. With this revelation, the hooded man picked up the pace, determined to reach this place before Nova did. It only took a moment, but the stranger did indeed make it there, though not as fast as he would have liked. The building was already losing structural integrity. At this rate, it would turn to dust in only a few minutes.

He hid close to the scene of the crime, catching a glimpse of a high-powered Majin rescuing a poor woman from certain death. It seemed Nova and a tag-along warrior were close to arriving as well, giving the shrouded man enough time to try and assist before he would be noticed.

"Shall we get to work?"

His body suddenly shook, and suddenly an identical warrior appeared from within! Anyone who'd seen this ability used before would know instantly that it was the Multi-Form technique, though used to its minimum power of splitting only once.

The mirror form of this hooded figure nodded. "Let's see what we can do."

With a grand leap, the duo smashed through the wall of the large building that resided on the opposite end of the building, entering on the top floor (hopefully) undetected. They quickly searched for survivors, using their Ki sense to assist in the search...

It had been quite a while since the last time she had fought alongside Captain Nova. Her own memory of the day she stood against Realigner Red was heavily fuzzy from the fact she had been magicked away from existence as she had been. Even Lilith was having a tough time in remembering it but there was something there as she soared alongside him toward danger. When he mentioned to her that should things get to dicey she was to leave things for him she smiled at him and nodded. “I will do just that Captain. For now I think we should focus on saving some of these poor souls left within the burning building…”

She would enter the building on the floor above Nova but still below Xitica. Entering a heavily smoked area she let off a burst of kiai which sent the smoke clearing around her for the moment allowing her to see that there was no one in the immediate area. Running from room to room she used her blade to slice through locked doors like a hot knife through butter and she had cleared the floor as she heard the building let out a groan. Freezing in place she knew that could not of been good so her ki flared once more as she qould be using it to help speed her along through the hallways and allow her to check rooms for people and animals. Thankfully she had not run into any until she entered the fifth apartment. A soft mewling caught her attention as a terrified feline jumped onto her shoulders. The cat clawed into her skin as she did not even wince. Glancing around she noticed a large bed within which she noticed what it was the cat was so upset about. There were three kittens within it mewling loudly. Sure it was not a human but she could not say no to saving a mother and her kittens.

Picking up the large bed with effortless ease she would move and kick out the nearby patio doors. Flying directly out and to the flat top roof that a few people had gathered upon to watch the fire. Setting the cat and her kittens down a man came over and knelt down to which the cat let out a happy noise as if reunited with her owner and Mimi turned to rush back into the blaze. Entering into another floor she heard loud coughing and weezing coming after she had punched in a window to gain access to another section of the floor. Zipping inside she noticed some flames licking around the room with a push of her ki she would stamp out the flames inside the room and she found someone who was inside their bed and had been knocked unconscious by the smoke and flames had just begun to lick at them. She picked up the young man and went right back out the window with him. Flying straight down to waiting ambulances. The men within the ambulances were startled by her as she brought the man to them. “Looks like he inhaled a lot of smoke. Fire was just about to claim him but lucky for him he had slept with his window open. But cant stay long need to get moving back inside.”

Turning Mimi would launch herself back into the air the smell of smoke rising as she dived back into the maelstrom.

"Found one!

"So did I! Three of em, in fact!"

The hooded mirror Warrior's revealed themselves to each other from opposite ends of the top floor. The original was carrying an unconscious heavyset woman over his shoulder, while the copy held a trio of children in his arms. They moved towards one another, nodded, then moved towards the nearest wall.

"We can't spend the time taking them down. We'll have to---"

"---Smash a hole through the wall, toss the four of them out, and materialize a large, soft bed to cushion their fall completely?"

The copy paused for a moment, before nodding quickly.

"You know me better than I know myself."

"I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing."

In unison, the duo thrust their left feet forwards, smashing through the barely-stable wall of the building. They peered over the edge, catching sight of a handful of fire fighters spraying the building with water. They gave each other one last look, before they flung the quartet of unconscious people downwards. They sailed towards the ground quickly, but before they made impact, a large poof of smoke exploded just below. The smoke cleared quickly, revealing a large, incredibly comfortable looking bed had appeared just below them! They landed softly, bouncing up a bit upon impact. A handful of Paramedics, each of which more befuddled than the last, made their way towards the bed, trying their best to assist the newest arrivals.

The two hooded Warrior's brought their index fingers up, blowing on them as if they were the barrels of smoking guns. "Alright. Let's keep moving; we can't fool around here." The original Warrior nodded, leading them down the stairs towards the next floor...

The media was whipped up in a frenzy as countless heroes came swarming into the blaze. While many news stations thought this was quite the spectacle to behold it was undeniable that everyone's help the hopeless situation was being turned on it's head. The cheers and relieved cries filled Captain Nova's ears as he streaked through the blaze like a golden bullet. These sounds filled him with a confidence that swelled in his chest despite the crashing and rumbling that shook the building each time one of the other heroes ripped through it's walls. "I just need to move quickly, this place feels like it's coming apart!" Nicolas growled out loud as he weaved in and out of crumbling debris that rained down from above.

His eyes narrowed beneath his reflective visor as he did his best to sift through the various sounds of the chaotic scene. The roar of the flame, the crackling and popping of wood, the groan of warping metal, these were all sounds he had to ignore. Instead, he focused on the sounds of strained breathing, the helpless cry of pain, and the struggles of life. He snapped out of his focused gaze as the all too familiar wail of help managed to pierce his ears. Nicolas cut his flight path at a 90 degree angle into one of the apartments.

With a crash the door would break off it's hinges as the caped crusader made his entrance. "NEVER FEAR CITIZEN! IT IS I CAPTA- Oh crap!" He stopped seeing the tenant: A little old woman who was currently trapped beneath a chunk of what was once her roof. "Hey hold on! I've got you!" He said, dropping his heroic persona as genuine concern slipped free. He scooped up the chunks of rubble and tossed them aside, the pained groans of the woman driving him onward. "Here we go! Last bit!" He said freeing the old lady. "I've got you!" He cradled the woman as he lifted himself off the ground.

"WAAAAIIITTT!" The woman yelled with enough force that nearly dropped the hero. "You can't forget about my babies!"

"..."

As the fire raged on people began to gather outside the building. News vans, fire trucks, and rubberneckers were abound each murmuring worriedly about the fiery inferno. "Look! It's Captain Nova!" One of the civilians suddenly shouted as the hero suddenly came out carrying the old woman in his arms while also having about 15 cats all stuck to him. 

"N-never fear citizens! Captain Nova is here to save the day!"

  Xi finished putting out fires around the ground floor, walking around and spewing steam at whatever blaze she saw. There was still an inferno above and she wouldn't be able to put the whole building out before the structure gave way. "Darn it....Well hopefully we can just get all the people out..." she murmured. Taking in a deep breath, chest puffing out more than normal (for a normal being anyway), she let out a loud bellow. "GROUND FLOOR CLEAR OF FIRE! ANYONE STILL DOWN HERE HAS A CLEAR PATH OUT!" 

  With that, the Majin waited for a moment, a couple people scurried out of a nearby door for the exit but there was no further sound other than the groan of the building and cries above. "Okay.."   Walking under the hole she inadvertently created when she fell, she knelt down and then pushed off the floor, leaping up to the second floor. Just in time to see a strange man crash through the wall. "WHOA! Hey! Easy with that....Building can't take much more!" she chastised before quickly adding. "If you've got this floor, I'm going up to the third!"

  As she spoke she heard some crashing above. Yup things were slowly devolving. With a leap, the Majin moved up through the hole to the next floor to look for anyone still on it.
