The mystery of Σ

Jessica drove around LA looking for something to do. It has been nearly a month since she came here looking for her brother and she was starting to lose hope. She found herself at the dock parking lot looking out towards the ocean. The calm of the waves seemed to calm her stress. Eventually she grew bored of the scene and was about to leave when she turned to the sound of cannon fire and saw a projectile of some kind hitting a black SUV. 4 men exited the vehicle as a robot landed in front of the burning wreakage. Jessica also saw that a man was hiding around the corner of a building trying not to get noticed. She decided to get involved before she became colartoral damage and then reved up her bike after pressing the secret button on her wrist and leg bands. This caused her arms and legs to become incased in robotic armor. She then pressed the button on necklace and this incased her head in armor as well. She then drove full speed and closed lined the man closest to her and then drove and stopped her motorcyle next to the white robot that started the fight. "You want to tell what he hell is going on or do you want me to take a guess?" Jessica asked the robot figuring that there was a man or woman inside the suit. She also pulled out a pistol that she kept in a secret compartment on her bike.

Σ.

It was a drug that gave one superpowers after they used it. This hit a bit too close to home for Nightkill. He suspected things about this drug...especially now.

He sat down on a bench, remembering the cult of Atomos. The short-lived cult had produced a drug called Atomos, which gave the user superpowers. Nightkill said 'short-lived' for good reasons. The cult all overdosed on the drug, and died, except for one brain dead man, who now lived in Nightkill's mansion and occasionally woke up to be experimented on.

The drug seemed different from Atomos, seemed like a refined version of the Atomos drug Nightkill was experimenting on. Nightkill got back up to walk again, and had turned the corner when he saw a SUV get hit by a burst of energy, and then saw a white robot, and a girl stop her motorcycle next to the robot.

Nightkill changed into his alien form, and then ran up to them. "What happened?" he growled.

Jessica swiveled out of the way of the white robot who decided to answere her in a Darth Vader voice and the car roof bursting off the car and thought to herself,"What the hell." She then noticed that the three men had injected themselves with some kind of drug and then turned into super powered freaks. She decided to tell the robot off but held her tongue and then activated her touch screen super computer. She then quickly entered some data and then looked over the calculation that the screen was showing. She then reved up her bike and charged the man in with rock skin while saying out loud,"First of all I'm 18, Second of all I know how to use a gun, and Finally I got boulder for brains over there." Jessica then stopped her bike suddenly and jump from the seat firing bullets straight at the man's face. Unfortunatly the rock skin didn't slow him down much and he took the bullets in his arm, barely feeling much from what she saw. "Damm it I thought that would actually do something."Jessica said to herself as she tried to think of something else.

Nightkill glanced at the French woman. He quickly decided she was the main threat. Charging up electricity in his hand, he threw a lightning bolt at her, then covered himself with electricity. He saw the other boy also attacking her, but he decided not to stop his original plan.

He charged right at her. Moving at incredible speeds, the electricity-covered alien practically flew toward the French girl. "Je parle le français, bonne dame!" he chuckled, preparing to slam into her and seriously injure her that way.

Jessica looked behind her at the tentacled man that was hit by a blast from the Vader drone. She then looked and saw that the white wonder was hit by the electric thug who was then hit by the buckler from the man who was tag teaming the girl that emerged from the destroyed SUV. She then ran over grab the tentacle man and swung him like a wrecking ball into he almighty rock faced freak. After they hit each other she fired off two rounds from her pistol as she ran over to see if the Great White Vader was ok. "So you ok Vader or do you need some help?" Jesica said to the robot and then saw her bike over to the side. She ran over to it and rode it back to the robot.

Jessica the took some jumper cables from one of the cars nerby then hooked her bike up to the robot. She then punched in some data on her computer and saw that the robot was low on energy reserves. She then reved up her engine to jump start the robot. "Come on you big hunk of metal get up before you become colateral damage."She said as she saw the energy levels of the robot slowly rising with each reve of the bike. She then looked over and saw the rock and tentacle men getting up and coming back to there scences.

Nightkill's coat was transformed into a solid conductive metal, but he threw it off and threw it at the french girl quickly. He could not risk being destroyed by his own electric powers, despite the sheer irony in that. Instead, he then stood at range, occasionally throwing lightning bolts of electricity at the girl.

After firing three bolts at the girl, he turned his attention to the green man. He charged at him, using the same electrical charging attack he used against the French woman. He hoped this would have better luck, and even pulled out a knife to stab the tentacled man when he had charged into him.

The electrical man, or "Sparky" as Rush had called him, stopped firing electricity at Rush as he began to convulse. Random bolts of stray electricity were launching from him in all directions. It seemed the Sigma drug was wearing the three men out with excessive use, as the rock man also stopped moving, lying on the ground after being knocked back by Jessica. Though the heroes couldn't tell by looking, the inside of his body was now also turning to rock. The tentacled man, actually would have survived. Eventually getting used to his powers, and his now reformed body, growing into a full and somewhat powerful metahuman in his own right. But that was before a knife was plunged into his gut. That was before the acid that now formed his bodily fluids began to spurt out and into the air, melting the knife blade and spattering against the electrical discharge coming from Nightkill, becoming a stinking steam that would burn the eyes.

With a clap of thunder and blinding light, Sparky actually launched up into the air, then back down against the ground, just like normal electricity would, leaving a scorched patch of pavement, and nothing but his screams echoing off the walls of the surrounding buildings.

Coming back online thanks to the efforts of Jessica, Baaqir was able to watch all of this unfolding. He quickly pushed himself to his feet and then lurched over Jessica as the acid blood sprayed towards them, hitting the back of his armour in hissing strands the warning lights of his suit began to flash, once the blood had stopped flowing the suit began to glow blue, eventually breaking into segments, which then fragmented into a blue mist. Ozzi was then left to crouch next Jesscica, holding onto his small Robot Gadget. "Crap, shit, crap, crap! He cursed as he whipped his sleeve at his face. A small bit of blood had hit him once his suit deformed from too much damage. Not enough to leave a permanent scar, just enough to sting like hell.

Looking around, he noticed two things. The men with their powers were no longer moving, the acid had stopped gouting fourth, and Miss Midas was gone. Apparently having used the mayhem of the two men to escape. "Shit... She must have gotten away with their shipment in the confusion..." He stopped to think for a moment. "Some one want to check the man, shield boy knocked unconscious? He might be carrying a syringe gun like the other three." He sat down and looked for a cigarette. He pulled it out and got Gadget to light it as he closed his eyes as he took a pull. When he had come out of his suit, he fell from chest height and hit his head, and was a little dizzy, unaware of the blood coming down from his temple.
