Voodoo, More Like a Meta.

It was a long sunny morning and it seems humidity was really bad in the South compared to the dryness of the North. It was nice and hot, but also you could feel a breeze constantly flowing to make everyone ease in the weather.  It was cool but at times you could feel the suns rays intensify then depart from your skin. It was nice and relaxing and it made walking around in New Orleans better and it gave you the opportunity to explore and party with random people. There was always something exciting going on and it never seemed dull for a second. The Southern food was great and people all the more merry and open.

It was nearing the afternoon and everything seemed quiet as if something big would take place in the next minute. It was ominous and It made Coronel have a strange feeling of something crawling on him. He panned around and seen no one and he only sensed people around him and everyone was plain with minor accelerations in speed, strength, intelligence, mass and ext. So it all seemed normal and it gave him no true meaning to quit what he was doing. Which was chowing down on the alligator that was brought to his table. It was a tough mean but it tasted like crayfish and lobster mixed with amazing. It was a great flavor and he had nothing to do.

Suddenly he felt a semi earth quake roll over the ground. It was like a shockwave from an explosion and in the distance you could see a building fall into dust and people fleeing from harm. Well it was about time to stop eating and do something and he now had something worth his time.  He left the restaurant and didn't pay but everyone was too worried about the scene to notice him leave. He flew off in the direction seeing the smoke and fire reaching to the clouds as if it was escaping the earth's grasp. It was an amazing view and soon he seen what had taken place. He come up to what appeared to be a gas station and on the side a guy was fighting police and killing civilians.  For some reason when Coronel seen this he felt as if the world came to a halt as he looked at the man. Pictures resumed as he let out a small laughter chuckling in mid air out of sight. If it was not for his urge to fight he would jolt down and help him but instead he would attack.

Nearing the other meta he used his ability to cloak his fist and dropped down on top of the meta with a punch. Where he stood a crater was formed and the shock sent debris crashing into building but luckily it missed other people. But lucky for who?

The man jumped to his feet and gripped his fist and then released letting out another shockwave just by the movement. Coronel quickly placed a barrier up but it was too late. He crashed through the fire and into the gas station coming out the other side with singed clothing and skin. You could hear him continue where he left off killing others and disregarding Coronel. Was he an idiot or asking to die. Coronel stood up and since he was not focusing on combat he regenerated and got back to his senses. He lunged out sending a wave of Telekinetic Energy at the man and the force of it lifted him off the ground and pressed him aside a building. Coronel then used the ability to lift a gas truck and throw it at him and the cause would make it explode on impact.

Seeing the man burning in the flames it was over and it was quick. Actually too quick for him. Suddenly another man popped out of the crowd and shot off a bolt of plasma missing Coronel's face by inches. Luckily he came into range of his sensing at the single most last second. Where were these people coming from and how many were there?

After turning to his right he seen the guy who was shooting lightning at him and he was ready to attack. He sprung ready to attack when suddenly the guy was knocked out of his way. He looked at the falling meta human as he seen the guy was knocked out. He could sense another meta behind him and it seemed like he just help Coronel.

He turned around seeing a guy in a nice dress attire. Maybe he was not like the rest. He did have his battle suit and he was sure all these new people did not go out and make a new suit so fast since everyone was in normal clothing. He also sensed his power was at a match for his, but actually it felt stronger in a way. Well it would not hurt to go and introduce himself. He walked over and was about to introduce himself until another explosion went off. My name is Coronel, but we can talk on the way. Would you happen to know what is going on?.

He asked the question and made his introduction, but it was not set up like he wanted it to go. He placed his hand down and filmed the area in a scan. Luckily it could reach the new meta human, but also it picked up 5 more. "5 More that was crazy where were they all coming from." he thought as he pulled the new meta over. He held the guy in place but it was hard. It seemed the guy had superhuman strength. He held the grip until the guy stopped struggling.

Where did you get the abilities. Why is there so many of you in New Orleans.
What you didn't get your abilities from the Voodoo lady? There was a nice group of people there who all got powers from her. She could grant almost every wish.

He took the information then used telekinesis to clench a nerve and made the guy pass out. Setting the guy down he scanned the area and now had 4 active meta and they were not using their abilities to do anything so he would leave them alone. But it was still edgy; who could give out so many abilities so fast? But he would figure it out. He set off to find another meta so he could question them.

Eeli was casually wally walking through new Orleans liie he always did. He had come here often in the past few months and no matter how many times he did everything seemed new and different than when he last came it also felt like somewhere he belonged.

He was casually walking down the streets drinking a large strawberry milk shake when he felt a large quake shake the area. He jumped in the air as everyone fell to the ground in a panic. He landed on a nearby building and watched as two metahumans laid waist to other sloppy made metas that were causing unneeded chaos.

When he first got into new Orleans he had heard rumors of some lady giving powers to normal people. He now saw exactly what she had caused and he didn't like it. He was about to go down to see if he can help but a group of newly made metas appeared from thin air around him and each had a murderous smile about them. "Don't cry too loud." One of them said receiving chuckles from the others. Eeli rolled his eyes and released a large rush of energy appearing as black light with blue hues.

When the light vanished he was standing in the center of a group of people knocked out onto the ground. His hair curled up at the bottom in large snow white chunks. His usual hero outfit was fitted on him perfectly as the dust spun into the air giving off the appearance that eeli was way out of their league as fighters.

This was getting crazy and bodies piled up like flies dropping from an electric light. How many people were really turned into meta human. Another 8 or so meta humans appeared out of no where. But they were in the distant and seemed to be fighting 1 specific person who they centered in the middle of the group. Looks like another ally and he needed to reach him and warn him of what was going on. He turned to see them in the air when out of no where he was it by a giant ball of darkness.

After the ball depleted and dispersed it sent Coronel flying through the air. As he crashed through the ground and into a building he looked back as he saw a guy who seemed to be wielding his ability as if they were mastered. As he stood back up the guy placed his hands on the ground and sent tendrils through the ground that skewered Coronel leaving massive holes in his vessel.

He snapped to and dashed for the guy at insane speeds reaching him in seconds. His body was in tethers but he did not need his body to truly fight. He relied on his ability to fight. He reared back a fist and swung with it fully enhanced with telekinesis. This one punch could leave several blocks in destruction, but the guy deserved it... He did put Coronel through a building. As his punch connected with the dark construct it nullified his power, but at the same time he left crack marks in the darkness. The shock wave pushed both of them back and it seemed like this guy was made better or at least had a better mind when he asked for his ability. He sent a force of massive proportion with his own ability at the guy and he countered sending equal force causing mass destruction to the surrounding area. This guy was far better than the others and he started wondering was this guy just a start of another wave to see in New Orleans?

It was starting to get out of hand and was clear that someone had set this up whether they knew who would respond or not. Eeli watched as one of the guys seemed as though he was coming to help him when a sphere of darkness appeared and sent a wave of energy in all directions. The caused him to cover his face as he shielded himself from incoming debris.

Eeli jumped in the air and began to fall towards the guy covered in darkness when three people appeared out of nowhere. "Super speed.....great." He called as he blocked a hit from one of the guys. He flew to the ground and slid for a block before rolling onto his feet and stopping himself. Energy began to pull itself into eeli ' s hands and two large shot guns appeared in his hands.

The people used their speed again in an attempt to stop gang him, however the only reason they were able to get the hit they did was because they surprised him and he was in mid air where he couldn't hold his ground. Eeli began to dodge the attacks thrown at him by the trio and block them with the two shot guns. "Is that it?" He said as he ducked forward and pointed the barrels at two of his opponents pulling the trigger and releasing a huge amount of energy in their faces pushing them to the ground and knocking them out.

He then turned and repeatedly sent vicious punches to the last guys face and gut. When he stopped the other guy laid on the ground and clear liquid slowly spilled from his mouth like drool. He then quickly turned his attention to the shadow guy with the intent on helping him out with his problem.

He was wearing the guy down and it was getting easier to fight since he got tired out real quick unlike Coronel. He still had tons of fuel to keep going but that was halted when the guy sent a massive ball of darkness at the other meta. He jumped in the way as he used his ability to lift it into the air. It took effort but he finally countered it. As he stood up he looked at the guy and needed to finish what is lasting to long.

He turned toward the guy and charged up a small compressed fire ball. it seemed like a ball of light, but the heat could be felt from far away. He looked over at the guy as he bolted towards him leaping above. He threw his hand toward the guy sending the ball at the guys head. After making contact a massive explosion was set off. The fire erupted into the air scaling over all the big buildings in the area. It was like a volcano unleashing its furry.

The guy was burned to a crisp, but he brought that onto himself after everything he done. He looked around as he seen his helper being pushed around by another meta. He swiped with his hands hitting the guy with a giant invisible hand. It sent him through the remains of the building and into another.

Coronel was growing fond of the fight and was starting to kill some of the randoms. He cut the supports of the new building letting it crash onto the enhanced man. It seemed like this was taking too long but it seemed the more they fought the stronger the metas were that was sent. Soon he started feeling higher power surges and even felt on meta who shot at his head. He let the bullet hit him and started to repair his brain immediately. As he turned there were more bullets and they were sensible since the were made using an ability to create weapons.

As the person neared Coronel he could not keep up. They move and evaded his attacks at Mach 3 and had a very sharp sense to his telekinesis even though it was invisible. Before he could even react she was already dodging as if she had a red line saying this is where he is attacking. What power allowed for this?

He punched the ground sending a massive 360 sphere, but another fail as his ability had just reached its limit in distance. She out ran his ability too. This was crazy and then she was back in a flash. She created another construct like a sword cutting Coronel giving him no room for counter. He placed a cloak of his ability around him waking the sword bounce or made it have a harder time to cut and pull out of his shielding.

He managed to get a hit in but at the same time it started to heal, but it was slow. One advantage he had was his higher healing rate, but she could really do a number if she kept up her swinging.

Eeli looked at the fights that transpired and sighed as they seemed never ending. "I think you're. " Eeli was cut off when something rushed him and grabbed his neck slamming him into a car nearby. Eeli took a deep breath but before he could retaliate the assailant began to jack hammer him deeper into the car. Eeli caught one of his punches and smiled.

He hooked him in the bicep and broke his arm. He then kneed him in the thigh and his whole leg went limp. His knee then rose into the mans stomach as he pulled him by his arm closer. He cried out in pain then gagged spewing spit onto eeli ' s clothes.

It started dying down as meta humans began to leave the scene. Some who didn't want to fight made sure they didn't jump in to save themselves. It was a wise decision and would be the best if they knew how to use their abilities. Plus a few people could turn out to help Coronel in the end. As he looked around people gathered and police and firefighters were on scene clearing people and stopping fires that were starting to spread. He could feel some of the enemies running away in the direction towards the swamp. Like idiots they give the location of the prime person he wanted to see.

Alright I know your new and we have not been able to talk, but my name is Coronel. I can feel the meta running away towards the forest over there and I bet we will find this mystery voodoo lady they all are running to.

He would help them with their information if they had no way of finding the place, but he would leave it at that. Fighting more meta at the same level could be easy, but also might resort to him loosing and he didn't want to admit that. He turned and took off into the air flying towards the swamp. He felt the presence of meta growing stronger, but they must have been all the one they were surrounded by that didn't want to fight.

As he flew for a couple minutes he finally set down in the deep thick swamp looking around seeing all sorts of life. It looked like people were in and out of this place constantly as well. He wondered around in the hopes of following the foot steps back the this woman's place of residence.

Eeli let the big guy fall to the ground passed out. As he looked up the boy known as coronel said he sensed people heading towards the gift givers house. Before 330 I could say anythingb the two took off. Eeli sighed and followed suit. He was much faster than the other two that was obvious. He ran past them like a blur barely pushing a hard stride as he searched the swamp.

As h stopped to tale a look at his location he felt a sudden thirst come over him and the smell of vampire blood pushed through his nose. He suddenly went feral and began to jump and run towards the smell.

They were in a large group not too far off and they didn't move as if they were trying to protect the whereabouts of something. In the back of his mind he questioned angrily why vampires of all creatures wanted powers or were in the swamp at all. He jumped from the tree line and pounced on one of the vampires. He quickly went for their neck as they tried to protect themselves with their forearm.

3 Eli snatched his arm off with ease and proceeded to drink him dry.

He floated just over the ground since it seem to be filled with mud and water. He might be dead but feeling dirty was still something he didn't like. As he moved through the swamp he could feel people swarming him and could tell they were around the same if not stronger than the woman who could make weapon constructs with her mind.

Well he didn't want shit to go down like last time so he held out his hand grabbing all the people before they had time to react. You know now I don't have an audience to watch over me to make sure I behave. So I am free to do what I want. He squeezed his hand into a fist and proceeded to crush their heart. All you could hear was a bunch of people screaming in the distance.

As he looked round he could see people evading Coronel's tracks but he did not want them to escape what they deserved. As he proceeded to kill them they started pilling up. 20- 50 more it started making it easier to find the hideout. Much more dense concentration of power flow was actually just the few that were left and they were a good bit stronger than what they have already fought. It would seem right since they were the ones being asked to protect the woman.

Coronel was nearing his targets and then suddenly the abilities dropped to the level of the other new meta they fought. Now it would be easy for him to just go in and kill them then the woman all together. For some quick hunch he felt like also giving away his position. Lifting one arm he let out a bright red smoke like they use in military signaling and he was sure it would attract the others attention.

He decided to keep progressing as he got closer he fell to his knees as he grew weak. It felt as if something put a major weight on him. He was not use to having his ability weakened and it was the thing keeping him alive. It was like a soul type weighting on his vessel. Now he was glad that he sent the signal. He could move freely but kit was a bit hard to get use to.
