Times Are Changing [Now Closed]

The powerful blast of Ethereal Energy would be more than enough to reduce the foe in question into nothing more than a fine ash that would be blown away in a stray puff of wind. Along with the fact that he had made sure that her attention was elsewhere, Michael felt more than confident that he had the woman on the ropes now. Just one quick decisive blow, and then he could walk away from this before any unwanted attention was drawn his way, like the cops that so enjoyed getting in his way. He made note that Sam had managed to get himself injured, and for a second considered not even helping the half titan, but then again that would have only made the thing as a whole annoying if his attack did not succeed in the first place.

However, within the last moments of his preparing the attack, the strange monster that he had been keeping busy suddenly leaped upwards, pushing the woman out of the way as it was destroyed completely. Michael cursed under his breath, teeth grounding lightly together as he quickly descended, gathering more energy within one hand and quickly tossing it into the air was it ascended impossibly high into the air. Landing next to Sam, Michael noted the scattered remnants of what was once the monster that was trying to kill his little hybrid friend. He noted that the woman had now produced what had looked like four arms, two of which were holding guns and firing them off as usual. Something about this back and forth was annoying the male more than anything, and he had to end this before things got out of hand.

So he drew upon the dark Ethereal energy within him once again, forming a dark purple aura around his right hand as what sounded like the crack of lightning filled the sky and within an instant rain began to fall upon them. While it may have looked like normal rain within this low light, closer inspection would have shown that it was a dark colored liquid, and for Sam that it was healing him. The downpour started of insubstantial and would grow to an amazing amount soon enough, its healing properties only apparent to those that he did not consider an enemy. With a wave of his hand, Michael quickly created a wall of the dark energy, and forced it to rush forward, each shot upon it, and thing thrown crating some damage.

With constant concentration he was able to keep the wall from shattering. It was beginning to grow tiring on his end, but not enough to keep him from forcing the attack forward. He turned to Sam, and with a single motion of his head, he told the male that he wanted him to use his little teleporting power to get on the other side of her, and end this with one decisive blow that would shatter the woman.

Sam was not very surprised when the robot lady simply took a step back and dodged his half assed attempt at an attack, but it was sad to think that it was the best he could do in the situation he was in. He dropped back down to one knee as more blood continued to pour from his arm, he began to get woozy after losing so much blood, he was surprised he was still conscious at this point. Sam covered his face with his other arm as what Sam thought was just a mindless beast, showed some thought and actually saved its creator from receiving fatal damage. He shielded himself from the debris that rained down upon the alleyway that once looked like a regular place, it now looked like a war zone with walls and the ground cracked and scorch marks as far as the eye could see.

Sam's ally seemed to appear out of the sky as he descended down and landed beside him, they could finally work together properly and take this machine on head one with everything they had, one noticeable disadvantage that the two had though was Sam's arm, he could barely lift it and it was starting to become a bother. The man beside him seemed to have a solution for it though as he made it rain some kind of black liquid, at first it just seemed like a technique to confuse the robot, but Sam started to feel a sharp pain in the spot he was injured, he looked down to his right and saw his arm was spitting smoke whenever it was hit by this liquid falling from the sky, the large cut that once scarred his arm had closed up quickly and showed no scarring, the liquid also washed away the blood from his arm and carried it down into the gutter beside him.

The enemy in front of them tried to even up the odds a bit more by doubling its arms to four with two of those arms firing those damn laser bolts their way again. Sam's ally took the initiative and put up another wall to stop everything this robot was throwing at them, Sam rose to his feet and tested his arm out, it seemed to be repaired to the way it was before his unfortunate accident, Michael was doing his best to keep the shield up and protect the both of them, Sam caught Michael turn to him and give him a small nod forward, Sam assumed he wanted him to go on the offensive with the robot not seeing it coming, so he obliged. Sam took a few steps to the left hand side and faced the right wall, he sprinted at full speed and leaped at the wall in front of him, but before making contact, he vanished in a cloud of black smog, he re appeared on the other side of the energy shield and grasped onto the wall before looking down at his target who didn't seem to notice him, Sam dropped down and landed a strong forearm into the back of the neck of the robot, Sam had no idea what he was facing, he was just throwing punches and hoping that he would hit something important and then take full credit and say that he meant to do it all along.

Most of it had been for naught, she had gotten a couple of good hits in, though her suits abilities to boost her own stats had worn down and there was not much else that she could do to protect herself. She stopped her advances but continued to fire on them. Her swarm of surveillance bugs floated around the area still, mostly remaining by her side. Elena was able to damage the arm of one of her opponents, and it did not appear as if he was going to be able to utilize it for the rest of this encounter. As for the other one, he seemed to be more careful with his movements as he had not sustained much damage, though he had preformed a number of powerful moves she could only hope that he might be feeling the effects of them sooner or later but she wouldn't be able to bet on that knowing his abilities.
Vexus' eyes narrowed at another orb of energy that they boy was manifesting in his hand, in the next instant he tossed it up into the air. It rose extremely quickly and she sent a handful of her SpyBugs up after it to try and examine it, however it was clear that it was moving too quickly for them to keep up with. Just a couple of moments later there was a crack of lightning that flooded the sky

Rain? Did this boy now possess weather manipulation as well...? No, it wasn't rain. Looking just a little closer at it, the liquid was physically darker in color. She immediately ran a full systems diagnostic, but found no impending damage. The odd water from the sky did not possess an unusual pH level, or anything else that she could identify with her scans. Be though as it may, it was still mostly composed of the strange energy that he used. Elena was plenty protected within her suit, even though it seemed to be harmless. 
The two of them now stood together and a wall of energy was erected in between the two parties, shielding her view of them in addition to protecting he from her gun shots. She continued to fire upon it in the hopes that it would crack and shatter as the last barrier had. To Vexus' surprise, it began to move forward. It was moving too fast for her to avoid by going up, which was the only method of escape. She did not have many, if any, options in this situation. Vexus activated her M.Tech Defense Discs which created a powerful barrier around her immediate space, following she sheathed her two guns and extended her four arms to take the impending impact head on.
It hit hard, almost messing with some of her systems. Her strength was doing nothing to slow down the wall of energy. Elena's heels were digging hard into ground as she was being pushed backwards by this attack. If it wasn't for her Defense Discs, she would have been easily run down. And the challenge wasn't over yet. From above, she picked up the other one who must have used his teleportation trick in order to get above and behind her. There was nothing she could do. He first dropped down hard on the back of her neck, forcing her to the ground. Following was a volley of punches, every last one making contact somewhere on her body. She felt some of the force from them, and in certain areas her suit was beginning to show signs of damage. It would become more substantial if she didn't pull herself out of this mess and soon.

As the fistful barrage continued, it dawned on her that he was using both of his arms. Something must have happened between the two when she couldn't see either of them through the wall of energy. The boy landed a punch right on her helmet shattering part of her visor. It was on the left side which revealed a slight portion of her face, included her Celestial Eye. 
That was her breaking point.
The walls on either side of the alleyway seemed to come to life. Moving like water, they began to lose their rigid shape and bend to Vexus' will. From the right side a large hand formed and rushed over to grab the man on top of Elena and begin to crush him within its grip. If it couldn't grab onto him, it was swat him off and away from Vexus like a bug in anyway it could. She rose to her feet with her Celestial Eye darting back and fourth between the two individuals while it glowed in the dark of the night. The walls moved inward narrowing the alleyway itself, while closing of any exits. The Technomatter also extended upwards, lengthening the walls to make it more difficult for a vertical escape route. This would not make for the perfect opportunity to collect a blood sample. The Technomatter flowed from the walls flooding the rest of the alleyway, covering its floor and trying to engulf both of them in separate cocoons of the metal-like material. Meanwhile the lower two arms would produce two syringes, if she was successful at capturing the two of them, their necks would remain exposed allowing her to take the blood sample she wanted.

There was little movement put into controlling the silvery substance and she casually prepared to conduct the first steps of her experiments. If they tried anything on the offense, the Technomatter would move in the way of their attacks making it appear as if it had a mind of its own. Thin streams of it twisted around Vexus' body repairing the small dents, scratches and other imperfections that this battle had caused. The visor was then soon brought back to its original state. Figuring there was no longer in any immediate danger, Elena deactivated the Defense Discs that she had used earlier. She felt as if she had strongly changed the tide of this battle, however she would need to wrap it up quickly. Manipulating such large amounts of Technomatter was not healthy. She could already feel her body begin to deteriorate from the inside out. This would be over in a matter of moments. There was nothing to worry about.

It seemed that his ploy with the Ethereal energy wall was successful, and that meant that the woman they were fighting was close to her eventual defeat, which pleased Michael. First the woman would have found herself pushed, back and then Sam came in with the big attack, a powerful punch that he was sure shattered something. All he could tell was that damage was done, and that meant that he was doing something right. However, it was within the next few moments that Michael found the situation becoming rather precarious, as what appeared to be the wall itself moving in towards them. Something about what was happening was strange, but then again he just had to move along with what was happening, to figure out how to deal with the new situation. He could tell that Sam was likely to be caught within the silver tide, but that did not mean that the Ethereal would be subject to the same dilemma.

In an instant he began to climb into the sky, body moving at full speed as he attempted to move out of the reach of the silver tendrils, perhaps hoping that he would not have to use anymore of his magical energy within this fight one that was growing to be rather annoying. This woman was powerful, that much was for certain, but then again he was also powerful, so he would not end up dead in an alleyway in wherever the hell that he was. It seemed that the strange material would not stop its pursuit, and some of it actually managed to grab onto his ankle, gaining a tight hold as it exerted more pressure than Michael could hope to fight against, ankle twisting painfully as he found himself being pulled earthward. Without even thinking about it, he activated one of his abilities, and his foot instantly became a fine mist, as he slipped through the painful grip, healing rain still falling down as he flew higher up into the air.

It seemed to only continue to follow him, but Michael had simply allowed his entire body to become untouchable, as the strange material would find itself unable to touch the powerful hybrid male, not even when it seemed to fall over him in a large wave. However he found that his foe was more than capable of continuing the assault and that meant that he would have to think of another method of attack, one that would prove useful now. With some concentration, Michael created four powerful spheres of Ethereal energy glowing bright purple, and with a thought all four would fall upon his mechanical foe, Michael preparing his more powerful spell, and hoping that Sam did not get caught in the attack.

Sam continued to rain down punches, he felt like he was on the upper hand as he had caught this cyborg off guard, it was having problems keeping up and it looked like it wasn't quite sure what to do. With one more powerful right hook, Sam struck at it's head and cracked the screen on the front of its head, it took a step back as if in surprise it took this damage, Sam was not quite sold on that however as he caught a look at what was behind the visor, it was not a motherboard or wires at all, it was an eye, a strange one at that. That was when Sam had realized this was not a robot or cyborg at all, this was a mechanical suit and he had just pissed off the person inside of it.

Sam wound up for another punch before he was stopped completely, both of his arms locked by his side by something strong that seemed to appear out of nothing behind him, when he looked around him, he could see it was the same silver goo that was fired at him before, but this had taken on the form of a hand and had grasped Sam, stopping him from doing anything. Sam stopped struggling and watched as the whole alleyway changed swiftly, he looked back down to the robot suit and noticed the dents, scratches and cracks being fixed by the same liquid he was currently captured in, this was pretty strong stuff. Sam was quite claustrophobic, so being put in this tight space made him breathe erratically, and the fact he could not move his arms made him feel in an even tighter space, the situation was worse when he noticed two syringes come out of nowhere from this robotic suit, ready to be inserted into both of the gentleman, this was something that Sam was also not a fan of.

Michael dissapeared into the sky and seemingly left Sam for dead, the robotic suit quickly turned its attention to Sam and approached him with syringes at the ready, this was when something inside Sam seemed to snap. He began to breathe more heavily and he had shooting pains in his chest, his heart was beating strongly, it felt like it was about to burst out of his chest, Sam groaned in pain as his body felt like it was changing, his hands began to turn black and transform into what looked like claws, it ran up his arm and took the place of his skin, the same went for his feet as some kind of energy wrapped itself around them and moved all the way up to his waist, the next change was his head as he screamed in pain as several horns grew out of his skull, he had calmed down now and he was breathing normally once more as the black aura had spread to his face, a sudden chill came over him as his he looked emptily in front of him, he growled as his entire eyes slowly changed colour to a bright green. A black mist was settling in as if it was emanating from him, he looked at the robotic suit in front of him, no thoughts going through his mind other than to cause damage to this person and everything around him. He began to struggle some more, he strained and screamed as he destroyed the silver hand that was latched onto him, pieces of the goo scattered around the transformed alley, but Sam was now free.

Spoiler:

Sam looked around with his empty eyes as black wings extended out from his back, he was a completely different person now and he looked like it too. Without thinking, he dashed forward and grabbed the robotic suit around the throat to see how they liked being helpless in a tight grip, silver threads began to spiral up his arm, they were cold to the touch, but before they could make any headway, he lifted the suit up and crashed it down onto the ground with un-matchable strength, he then float up a short distance from the ground and flew straight down towards it, slamming on top of it, that was when something above him caught his attention.

Sam looked up again and growled under his breath as 4 spheres of energy were coming towards him, he looked down to the person on the ground and grabbed their throat again, this time lifting them up above him like some kind of shield from the spheres, although it would probably do large damage to the shield anyway, Sam didn't care.

Vexus' major offense move had proved quite promising so far. They were on the run. The one boy launched himself into the air avoiding the tendrils of her Technomatter for as long as he could, however the strange material moved faster than him and caught his ankle. As she began to drag him down to the ground her other opponent seemed to be have 'trouble'. The readings that his body was giving off were inhuman. He should be dead with his heart racing at such a pace. He then suddenly began to change, and at the same time she felt her extended grip on the man above her slip. Looking up she watched as he reverted into a mist of sorts, all at once more of her Technomatter closed in on him trying to hold him captive even in his evaporated state.
Her focus then moved on to the man who she had in her grasp, she had been moving towards him in order to take a blood sample but the sight of the needle seemed to have sparked this transformation of sorts. His skin changed, he grew horns and wings seemingly out of nowhere. It was a very dramatic shift and it also sounded very painful. The very air around him shifted as the skin on his face darkened heavily. His breathing and heart rate returned to normal as she witnessed his eyes change to a bright green. He had changed, more than just physically. There was something less human about him, even past the horns and wings. It was fascinating, yet terrifying. 

Fear. What an interesting sensation. It was not something Vexus had felt in a very long time. Her heart rate was speeding up, and she was actually worried for once. Still fascinating that such a creature can push her to feel this way. But she would have what she wanted. The primal aura that he gave off would be more than enough to cause the damage she was looking for. She could see him being to strain against the Technomatter that bound him. Her focus intensified in order to try and keep him still, but he overpowered the element and broke free. Elena took a couple steps back in surprise at the absolute rawr strength he now possessed. And even more surprising was his speed.
Within an instant he was upon her. His claws clenched around her throat heavily cracking her armor. If it wasn't for the suit, her neck would have no doubt snapped under the pressure. In the absolute microscopic spaces between her throat and his hand Technomatter began to slowly form in order to eventually push him away. Her element tried to attack him but to no avail as he effortlessly lifted her up and brought her down as hard as he could. Instinctively Vexus moved the Technomatter underneath her which heavily cushioned the impact. Her suit also took most of the damage, cracking on the back. Following he rose up letting go of her, Elena taking in a sharp breath the moment he released her, and would no doubt be coming down again on top of her to deal a possibly finishing blow. The Technomatter again bent to her will and swiftly moved in between her and the monster. She had not created a thick enough barrier, but it was able to protect her. When he struck the shield of matter, it shattered sending pieces everywhere. 

Almost immediately following, she picked up the unknown energy descending down from where her first target had been. Again the newly formed beast went for her grabbing again at the throat, this time she had Technomatter surrounding the area which allowed for more protection from his grasp. He was using her as a human shield. It was insulting and no one was going to degrade Vexus to such pathetic levels. From her right arm, she activated her Technorganic Matter Fusion Cannon and fired two blasts at the ground around her. From the earth two large creatures formed very quickly and began to attack this beat using her as a shield trying to cause any damage to him so that he would drop her. Both of them had sword like arms to add to the danger and one of them was the flying variation of her Technorganic creations so that it would hopefully be able to deal with the other, and now less prominent, 'issue' she was having.
Meanwhile more of her technomatter swirled around her also attacking her captor. Wrapping around his arms, legs, neck and wings. It would try to pull him to the ground while also multiplying on his extremities adding a substantial amount of weight in hopes of slowing him down or grounding him in any way she could. The raging Technomatter also began to form a cocoon like barrier around Elena's immediate person. She had no idea what there spheres of energy could or would do and needed to prepare for anything. If she got lucky, it would take out this brute and allow for an easier extraction of test material...

Michael felt something shift within the air, something dark and rather ominous. A darkness that was being born within the world, an eternal darkness that caused the hair to rise upon his skin, a phenomenon that he had only felt one other time when his father has taken on that form of his. He found himself shivering lightly, and yet his lips were curling into a rather sadistic smile, as if what were happening amused the ethereal being and the dark energy that coursed through him. His flight pattern wavered for a moment, as the dark haired male let his eyes follow what transpired below, the savagery of the Titan proving more than what the robot was expecting, and that only added to the whole thing really. From here he could tell that some major damage was being done, and the bestial roars emitting from there was likely going to draw some attention, well this whole fight was doing that.

Still, even within this situation, his foe was more than capable of reacting to what was happening to her. More of the silvery substance was forming, and it seemed that his ally would find himself caught within the strange stuff, and his attacks were still falling upon them. It appeared that the substance would be able to take most, if not all of what he was dishing out, and he was not too surprised by that really. ”It looks like I might need to get….serious.” He paused for a moment feeling a little winded, the exertion of using his energy beginning to take its toll. He took in a deep breath, trying to gather all of the energy that was available to him, as he caught notice of what looked like one of those strange constructs, but it was flying through the air.

Michael found himself backpedaling as it flew at him, the male forced to gather some energy as it rushed him quickly. In an instant he had to form eight tendrils of the dark purple energy, one of them lashing out at the thing, as it barely moved out of the way and slashed towards the male. Droplets of dark water fell down his face as its rocky talons scraped his abdomen, drawing a dark fluid from him, and a roar of pain that one would not expect from someone like Michael. It stung like hell, and he was rather unable to really take what was handed to him, the pain of…one of his ribs breaking. The healing rain was helping, pain not as great was one would expect, but he was still feeling it as one of the tendrils reflexively smashed into the construct, and broke it in twain.

His shirt was ripped up, and some blood was still falling down his chest as he found his vision blurring, and breathing growing shallow. He wasn’t drying, just….hyperventilating. In an instant his energy grew bright, as he forced it to rise and what seemed like a deep black energy would begin to rise from the air with the crackling of black energy, whirling about. Within a second a maelstrom of black energy would rise into the air, and it was likely the female and anyone around her would be caught within it, Michael a few feet away from its reach.

Sam was having no trouble heaving this robot up above him, the metallic suit no doubt added a lot more weight to whoever was piloting it inside, but they seemed to manage just fine. The robot wriggled and tried to break free, however Sam's strength was too much, their wits however were still as sharp. Somehow the robot fired more of the silver goo at the ground, the supply of this liquid seemed to just be endless, the goo landed on the ground and immediately crumbled the earth in order to make more of those monsters, one of them was large and brutish, the other was much more nimble and had the ability to fly like himself. The flying monster appeared to lose interest in him and flew towards his ally to cause some damage, the other monster grew around his legs, causing him to be stuck as if he was standing in a swamp, Sam dropped the robot to the ground as he tried lifted his feet off of the floor, but to no avail, it felt like he was glued strongly to the alleyway.

The large monster had now taken a more permanent form, it was large and wide, it looked like it was slowly melting and yet it would always stay the same size, it began to grow sharp sword like arms that looked like they could cut through any material, including skin and bone. Threads of the goo continued to spiral up his body, wrapping around his legs, but mostly forming around his feet to give it more weight and keep him down, more goo curled around his hands, as much as he tried to shake them off, it would not leave his body. Threads were now reaching his wings and spreading across them, causing them to stiffen and offer less bend, severely hindering his ability to fly, he was not looking to fly away however, with this transformation, Sam practically became a mindless weapon that would attack anything in front of it, friend or foe.

The silver liquid was bending around what was left of the alleyway, doing whatever the wielder told it to do. The large brute slid towards Sam who was becoming more enraged by the second, the mark on his forehead glowing brighter than ever now. The silver liquid may have been trying to weigh him down, but he was not helpless, in an attempt to use the liquid to his advantage, he lift his arm straight up into the air and dropped it onto the large brute's head, it did not work how he thought though, his arm simply moved through the beast as the liquid seemed to slide through and cause no damage, the goo could take on both a solid and liquid form, something that Sam could not quite comprehend and no matter how hard he tried, he could do no damage. The behemoth pulled its sharp arm back and was ready to strike when it did not, something was holding it back, Sam's empty eyes looked up as a storm of sorts was forming above the alleyway, the beast began to slowly lift off the ground and away from Sam as the wind grew stronger, he could feel it trying to pull him up, but there was simply too much weight, he then noticed the large balls of energy flying towards the earth, the robot was safely packed away with its liquid protecting it like a mindless slave. Sam's instinct told him to move out of the way, but all of this goo that seems to appear out of nowhere had a different idea, he was rooted to the spot and had to take the full force of the impact.

The five balls of black energy hit the ground and erupted into huge explosions, immediately cleansing Sam of the white liquid that was surrounding his body, the explosions leveled both of the buildings of the alleyway, ending the alleyways existence altogether, Sam was sent flying backwards through the air with his wings causing him to spiral out of control, he was waiting to hit the ground, but it never came, instead he was sucked into the air by the Maelstrom that was still raging in the sky. Sam was not sure where this robot had gone, but he was currently trying to fly away from the black storm, his wings were pumping, but to no avail, he was pulled inside and was tossed around, it felt like the storm was trying to tear him apart, skin was torn from his body and his head was ringing, blood began to trickle down body as his wounds were being healed by the rain that was still falling from the sky, it only made things worse as the skin that was healed would soon be torn again, it was a vicious cycle of pain that did not look like it would stop, Sam's demonic groans of pain slowly came to a stop when he passed out from the pain, he was now just dead weight spiraling through the sky with no sign of stopping. The glyph slowly faded from his forehead.

Spoiler:

There was not much that Elena could see from outside of her Technomatter cocoon. She could hear the fights continuing, and from what her scanners could detect, something was happening. That energy, again, was collecting in the sky. However before she had a chance to get a proper read on it, and explosion reverberated outwards. It decimated her defense sending her flying back. Vexus would have hit the ground with a hard thud if her metal-like matter didn't swiftly swoop around and catch her. Regardless of the save, her suit had still sustained quite a lot of damage. Only cosmetic repairs would be able to be made on site right now. No doubt she would need to return home as soon as possible and issue a complete repair on all of the systems. 
As she brought herself to her feet, the sky was turning black and the strange rain was still falling from the sky. The whole air around her began to darken as it became thick with the energy around her. It began to crack and spark around in the most eerie of ways. Whatever sorcery this was, it would not end well. In a few seconds the wind began to pick up, and she started to lose her footing. Her technomatter quickly arrived and tied her to the ground, although it did not seem as if her test subject was fairing as well. The explosion had thrown him violently across the now leveled battle field, also removing the Technomatter from his body. She watched as he spiraled out of control being sucked upwards. The storm worsened in intensity beginning to rip the man apart, and with the odd rain healing him it was just a hellish cycle of pain that saw almost no end. 

Vexus' situation was not bettering either. The ground beneath her feet was breaking apart, and in no time she would be in the same death blender. The Technomatter wrapped around her again acting like a cocoon, however the strength of the storm tore it apart just as fast as she was able to repair it. At the rate she was working, she would end up completely exhausting herself. This was the end of it. The damage had been done. She was not going to walk away with the prize she wanted, but keeping her life held a higher priority at the moment. In one final pulse of effort, Vexus condensed the Technomatter around her self and dematerialized her entire body into the essence. The scattered dust was whipped around the magical vortex until eventually being expelled outwards in literally all directions. It took nearly hours for all of the particles of Vexus to gather back together and begin their journey back to headquarters in New York City.

There was much work to be done...

(Exit topic)

The powerful Maelstrom of dark ethereal energy raged on, tearing apart anything that came in contact with it as it rose high into the sky. Anyone that was unlucky enough to have been caught within this attack would find themselves destroyed, reduced to bloody pulp by the might power of the ethereal. It was within this moment that he remembered that his ally was within the range of the powerful spell, but then again the healing rain that was falling would manage to keep him alive long enough for the Titan to be hurled from what could have been his death. Michael let one hand run over his chest, feeling for a slight abnormality within his ribs which seemed to be gone, though blood and healing rain soaked his shirt immensely.

His breath came haggard through paling lips, shuddering as he attempted to get over the strange sensation washing over him, something that Michael hated more than anything. The arm of the monster that had damaged him was sucked into the energy along with the rest of it and within moments there was nothing left of it, just dust that was being destroyed within moments as if it held no density at all. ”Dammit.” Michael hissed through clenched teeth, vision blurring slightly as he felt the spell keeping him aloft beginning to ebb slightly but not enough to make him plummet to a painful death. Police sirens sounded off in the distance, combining with the sound of the spell continuing with its track, taking anything that it could into the grinder of a maelstrom.

Something was thrown from it however, and that shape looked like the monstrous form of Sam, radiating Nether for sure but it did not seem that he was under the influence of his own spell. If he stayed here any longer, he was likely to be caught by the police and something within him was changing, a dark hunger that demanded…..blood. His Titan nature was beginning to take over, consuming him with an all powerful desire, one that forced Michael to land not far from where the twister raged, and breaking all within its path. Vision grew blurry, dark grey roofing becoming nothing but a haze as he felt all magical energy change course, going from a simple tingling across his body to something else. It was within this moment that he did not even notice that the local law enforcement had brought out its finest, helicopters and more than that as well.

Michael felt his muscles bulge, veins becoming apparent from underneath his skin and whole body quivering. Dark Ethereal energy coursed through his entire being, increasing his very physical make up and birthing a more dangerous being than was before. A bright light shone upon him, illuminating the male that was standing within the shadow of the maelstrom, glowing tail of energy lashing about from his lower back, breaking anything that was unfortunate enough to be within the path of it. Michael let his lips curl into a snarl as what looked like sharp canines made themselves visible, canines capable of tearing through metal as easily as they could through flesh. He took notice of the flying vehicle, meter long lashing limb trailing behind him seeming to stop its erratic twisting as his attention was drawn.

Within the blink of an eye he was in motion, flying through the air as the roof below him shattered, Michael being propelled through the air through pure strength as the purple energy talons decorating his fingers dug into the side of the helicopter. Ite began to swerve erratically, as the few people within it began to panic, unloading their powers into his body as the only damaged seemed to be clothing, Michael ignoring the irrelevant rounds. It was like mosquitoes were trying to bite him, sadistic grin forming across lips as with a simple motion his tail managed to break off one of the rotors and the coptor took a dive into the streets. Fire bellowed from the wreckage as Michael pulled himself from it, a low rumble resonating from his chest, eyes narrowed into slits and sclera a deep black.

The healing rain still fell upon him, soaking his clothing to the core, but considering that he saw no one but himself as a friend at the moment within this rage addled mind, no one would be saved by the spell that was still running before he turned and his maelstrom would continue for a while yet, perpetuating itself. From what he could surmise they had called out all of the stops, armor piercing rounds slamming into his body as his clothing found itself torn even more, any weapons they had were thrown at Michael but to no effect. It was all a game really, a sick sadistic game that he had already won. Casting aside what remained of his hoodie, Michael stepped forward from the wreckage, charging the nearest officer, one hand plunging into the chest before they could even react, slick blood coating his hand as he pulled out and was coated with it. With a harsh flicking motion of his hand, Michael slung the body into that of a nearby SWAT vehicle denting it as it nearly fell on its side. Like a monster glutted on blood, he was prepared to paint the very streets in blood, to reduce the force itself to nothing but an organization of bodies when something happened.

A dark energy surrounded him, latching onto limbs as he felt himself being pulled down, more of the strange substance like black inky forming around him like a containing orb that only increased  in pressure as he attempted to break free but failed in that attempt. It only took a few moments, Michael feeling darkness washing over him as his muscles stopped resisting and within moments he fell unconscious. Within that moment the strange substance fell away and he hit the ground hard as the rain and maelstrom went on for a good ten minutes before stopping.
