Creation of The Shadow Society

Vampiro was hunting in a forest in northern france he saw a nice french couple looking for a place to be alone and he knew the blood of lovers was a taste to be savored but he couldnt help but feel a sense of wanting to be welcomed and a part of something after feeling so lost and solitary for so long he was longing to find people who were like him if there were any. he then came into view of the guy then moved quickly out of sight to spook the couple and kept doing so till he closed in for the kill biting both their necks and drains them dry but then hears someone else coming close

Lucius was in France for the week, he was looking for more Meta humans to join his cause as the others had. He had been tracking a "Vampire" that had been cited in the area.  Lucius didn't believe in the the classic vampire, he merely thought them to be a certain type of meta human. Asking around about the legend led him to a small village in northern France. the town was quite nice, he had always wanted to live in a place like this before he got his powers, but he was above it now. The man he last spoke to about the vampire told him he was spotted in the woods just east of the town, beyond the large farmhouse. Lucius made his way past the farm and started walking on an old path through the forest, a couple was walking about 50 feet from him on the same path. They looked cute together, but were still just ants to him.


The male started to look around as if spooked, and the girl was asking him what was wrong. Lucius looked beyond them and in to the wood, he could make out a figure and from the looks of it he could be his vampire. Lucius was not ready for combat as his gear was at the hotel, but his power was still just as potent. He put his hood up then ducked behind a rock, the figure kept moving quickly in the woods as if to scare the humans, it did just that apparently as the male screamed "Who are you! what do you want?!" Inthe next few seconds the two were down, with there killer standing over them and blood driping from his mouth. He was rather Gothic looking, but lucius was not one to judge you by looks alone. Lucius came out from behind the rock and started walking toward the "vampire". As he got around 10 feet from him lucius could tell that the man noticed him. "they say its rude to suck others blood, but i guess thats kind of your thing"  lucius said chuckling to himself. "you have caused a lot of trouble in this town from what i hear, what is your name"

Investigations are fucking police jobs, not for a highly classified assassin. Sixteen had been asked by a dirty cop who work in the underground society of villains, and he admitted that he did not feel like looking into something he knew he might get himself killed. He had a gamble call, so Sixteen contact explained the situation and Sixteen decided to go check it out. He lived in Europe, which is strange due to his nature, unknown childhood, and English language to be in quite a place made you wonder why there? Moving on to the subject of class, in this class today we will be learning on how to actually form a villainous group. Sixteen breaking the speed of sound in his own apartment, dashed off in the noted location that was given to him in an attempt to at least see what the fuss was about. He had also left his more potent equipment in the apartment, but not without strapping two swords behind his back. Normal katanas. Admitted these things are foreign due to the things he had seen recently - People can turn anything into a mass murder weapon.


His attire was of all black colors; Gloves, undershirt, leather jacket, sword straps, fit cargo pants, and combat boots all in style. Ski mask on his whole body, revealing his light blue eyes and his mouth for air. On the way, he made sure to not make any kind of stops as his movements weren't even seen as he made his way to his destination. Making a pleasant and silent stop, smelling the air. He looked around, not placing himself in battle mode or reaching for his weapons he began using a slow paste of movement into the grass until he heard conversation ahead. Just beyond the trees, he spelt faint blood not far off - surface running up the tree he sat on a tree making his presence known but his vision clear. His danger senses didn't sense anything, so he wasn't in any immediate danger, just above the two of them he looked more armed then both of them but he could see what the party was about. His facial expression was barely visible, but it didn't have much to show; the inner expression was highly amused.

"A Vampire ...? You can't be serious? ... So they are real" his eyes focused on the creature from such distance, he really couldn't be seeing what he saw. The objective was to see what it's about, so his mission was pretty complete - His legs dangling from the branch, he watched the two men talking over the dead bodies have their conversation. He was just interested in staring at the vampire.

Vampiro seeing both of these people looking at him seemingly judging his vampiric actions he then simply said to them
"Who Dares intrude upon my hunting ground?!" showing no fear of the two not really noticing they were pretty well armed and not caring if he were about to take a beating from them... he was no stranger to being hunted nor pain after all he rather enjoyed pain he had no idea of who these men were and by the look of sixteen he was thinking he may have finally met a fair and equal adversary

The creature was amazing, he killed those two very easily and could be of great use. Not to mention what his blood and or body would be worth. Perhaps this trip would not be as worthless as he thought it would be. It was odd seeing the body's of the two humans in such a beautiful forest, everything was a potent green with pink flowers and pollen floating in the air. Hemming birds and butterflys flew around, and crickets chirped . It reminded lucius of how much he liked France as a kid, he never knew why his parents went back to the US, he would have been happy here. but if they didn't he would not be the man he was today, and he would still be a human.



The creature turned toward lucius and replied. Lucius smiled at how primitive the being truly was"i believe this land belongs to the farm over there, so its hardly intruding."  lucius said in a matter of fact way "now i will ask you again, what are you and what is your name?" lucius demanded as he ignited his hands with energy to intimidate the creature. beyond the trees lucius spotted another figure, perhaps it was another vampire. Whatever it was lucius could be outnumbered "you, behind the trees, who are you?" lucius turned toward the shadowy figure as he asked him "why are you watching us?" Lucius started to prepare to fight, he looked at his surroundings, if he could get the high ground then he could easily dispatch them with his energy. He saw a large boulder about 10 feet from him, it was about 6 feet high so it would offer a decent amount of defense, he planned on leaping on top of it then shooting at his attackers from it if they did indeed attack him.

Three suspects, two bodies, and all supernatural beings involved. The kill itself screamed supernatural, the bite marks and extreme loss of blood was going to alarm the press and the public of what lurks in the shadows. Sixteen eyes focused on the body in a silent gesture, in his line of work fake deaths are not as common as one would think; They were confirmed in his eyes as dead. Moving on to pressing subjects of the matter, time and creditability of the beast standing below him, he heard demands. As in both of them instead of using kind words more aggressive and hostility to get answers that could be retrieved through nicer means.


Sixteen was dressed in a manner of self defense, he was always dressed in this way when he walked out of his house; Protocol Sixteen is real. Visually others viewed him as a threat, but it was how he responds to other peoples views is what makes him a monster. Eyes shifting over to the other guy, unknown, never seen him before either. Where the hell has these people come from? Blinking slightly, his muscles didn't need to flex - No danger in sight. So now, Sixteen, a man with not only a mask but two swords on his back - was looked at for answers. His arms went from resting on his lap to the branch he was sitting so pleasantly on. He spoke once more, in a bit of spite but more curiosity; Will the fight begin? This is his country, so he had every right to be here ... But did they?


He didn't hear any police or possible disturbance, but the night was young and hopefully they wouldn't have to deal with the authorities, or at least he knows he won't. Killing was something he learned to know how to do properly, looks like the vampire himself just does it because it's in his nature. He did not want to use any kind of lethal method on anybody, he wasn't paid for this; He was asked just to figure out what it was. Humans were too scared to check this stuff out, so it left him. The smell of blood roamed up his nose, not doing as much as it could due to his ski mask but he sensed it. Admitted he actually was glad he came, he got to find out vampires actually exist - plots were twisting in his brain as he analyzed the situation.

"Well. I'm not the police. I got called to investigate a creature that's roaming around here. Looks like I found it. I live around here."

Vampiro smiled menacingly and looked at them pulling out his pistols and continuously smiling and starts to laugh psychotically completely not thinking about the fact that theyre are two of them and one of him.

"You boys think i am as my name states... a vampire... well im not!" He shoots at them both "I am Vampiro and I do whatever i want when i want and i care not about these petty humans I'll Kill who I want when I want I AM GOD!" he yells at them thinking himself god but he obviously is not. the blood from the victims dripping from his mouth he licked it from his lips enjoying the taste of blood remembering their screams he cracks his neck and enjoys the pain of the neck crack "Come and Play!!!! I'll Bring You The Gift Of PAIN! he says to the men

The man in the tree spoke, lucius considered what he said about being sent there and wondered who he was sent by, maybe he was part of a local hero group trying to protect there home terf. Whatever the reason for him being there lucius was glad he wasn't another vampire, and could be a possible ally if a fight did indeed brake out. Just then the creature drew his weapons and said something about not being a vampire, lucius knew this of course, as he thought them to be meta humans and not some mythical creature as portrayed in popular media. The creature fired at lucius and the other man, Lucius quickly moved his hand and incinerated the bullet with his energy. "If your not with me, your against me" lucius said nodding at the other man. "your going to have to do better then that, monster" lucius said in an arrogant tone to the creature.


The creature then started rambling on about something and stating he was god. Lucius was truly having trouble understanding him. He found the rambling quite humorous, and he chuckled to himself a bit. He then began his previous plan and leaped up on to the boulder near him, then fired a blast of energy at the creature. He hoped it wouldn't kill him, as he wanted him alive, still he could be of use died as well. He hoped the other man could see they had a common enemy and would help him, but still lucius wanted to be the one to take the creature as this trip would be a waste if he didn't. If the man would try and take the creature from him after he was defeated then they may come to blows as well, but he hoped it wouldn't come to that.

Returning to it's previous position, the assassins hands in which rested in his lap, moved itself once again back to the tree bark. Propelling himself and balling his body into a partial ball his feet ended back on the tree branch he was sitting on. The soles of his boots kissing the wood of the strong tree, which was generous enough to actually allow him to stand firm onto of the branch. His heart didn't have a beat of rush in it, well at least just yet; As his danger senses tingled and identified the monster of blood as a 'Target of intent'. Target has full intentions of harming assassin number sixteen, this was sensed before the man even moved his muscle to grab his guns to actually fire at Sixteen and whoever the other guy was.



Sixteen's Danger senses allowed him to sense intent, this cause him to act much more smoothly then anyone without them - Sixteen's brain began to formulate plans within split second, thinking of at least three before his brain gave him freedom of actual movement. Unlike a lot of people, when having the gift of enhanced super speed and enhanced brain his perception and time is so much more differently viewed. His eyes caught an immediate threat, his hands went in motion - Sixteen stood completely still  His brain and senses formulated exactly what would happen in an almost enhanced seeing in the future - body language is a powerful thing. His hands quickly reached and grabbed both swords, no sounds or sudden movements made before he drew his weapons.



His eyes closed, once his danger senses erupted he made an incredible movement.


Boom!  


  Breaking the speed of sound, causing a loud booming noise right when the bullet released itself from the chamber, in more than an instant he was gone. The bullets sore through the air seeking the blood of two unidentified men driven by a blood sucking being who just so happens to carry guns. His steps were not heard, his sense was beyond trace, and his movements were beyond visible through most means. He did not come to this location for a showdown, he stated that he wasn't the authority - Maybe the man was running from something?


Any case, by the time the man that also got shot at tried speaking to him and trying to see if they could tag team him Lotus was no where in sight. Using his speed, he dashed around him, in a circular motion  with his hands equipped with the basic Katanas that rest deeply within his palms as they seek counter blood. Moving at about 600 MPH, not using his full speed he got behind him about fifteen meters and that is when he made his first split second.  In that split second he became visible, his boots tapped onto the ground while his arms down letting his swords look at the ground neck to his feet - Just before the split second was over he could feel his heart beat one more time as it's speed increased as he dashed forward using the same speed his movements straight forward as he got within five meters of the monster before lunging both swords at his body. This was a hit-and-run attack, five meters was to actually ensure he didn't get hit with any close quarters yet.


Sixteen was moving at 600 MPH, so it was very unlikely for him to be seen or even sensed; The swords launched aimed for his lungs, right after he released them he dashed back to fifteen feet behind him. After that attack was initiated, he waited for a counter-move; The swords and the other man's blast was impeccable timing - Luckily both attacks happened at the same time in an effort to do some kind of damage. His feelings on killing the man wasn't entirely there, but if he had too he was more then capable of making it happen.

Battle Summary:

Vampiro seeing these two men disappear rapidly from their positions ...he knew he was now going to be attacked most likely from behind and so he dove to the right in an attempt to avoid the ever so apparent onslaught that was coming to him. he was not quite quick enough to avoid all of the on coming damage.. he had avoided the blast of energy and one of the katanas that had been thrown at him but he wasnt quick enough to avoid both due to his partial dodge of the katanas impaling him in the lungs of which he did not know were aimed there he instead was hit vampiro on the thigh but then it broke against vampiros leg getting up as quickly as he could Vampiro then pulls out his broad sword and one pistol aiming the sword at the man he believed tried to cut him and the gun at the other man observing that one of them was quite faster then anything hed previously seen. he smiled and laughed at their attempts to hurt him and just sat there staring at them smiling then he uttered "You boys have no idea who i am do you?" as he then tried to slash the man who he thought threw the katanas at him and shot a few times at the other man but then focused on trying to fight this hooded assassin looking man trying to cut him left right and center "Come On Boy!" he said to him

Before lucius knew it the assassin looking man dashed off and started striking at the creature, lucius didn't even need to ask him for his help. Despite being a large creature, it moved quite easily out of the way of two of the attacks thrown at him. However he was hit by one of the other mans swords, much to lucius' dismay it shattered on the creatures leg on impact. This thing was incredibly hard to damage, he would have to hit it hard. The creature fell over a bit but quickly picked itself up then again took out his weapons. It pointed the sword at the speedster and the gun at lucius, he thought that was an odd choice as the sword would most likey be easier to evade then bullets. The creature fired a few shots a lucius, lucius knew he was about to do this as he pointed it at him for a few seconds before doing so, to defend himself lucius formed a shield of energy infront of him. As the bullets pass through the energy they were dissolved instantly. The creature then seemed to shift most of its focus to the other man, big mistake.


Lucius jumped from the boulder and landed on his feet, after that he began working up a massive pulse of energy he hoped would incinerate the creature. He knew the other man would most likely be able to out run it, and lucius was immune to his energy, so the only one to get harmed in this massive attack would be the creature. Lucius then unleashed it, sending a pulse not unlike an explosion outward. The entire area lit up with red light, violently expanding and destroying as it went. After the attack finished lucius saw that the pulse destroyed the boulder behind him and burnt the forest to ash. He couldn't see what had happened to the others as he was to still coming to his senses after unleashing such a large attack. After a few seconds of dizziness he spoke "you two all right, hahaha, lets just calm down a bit before i do this to the entire town." lucius yelled out chuckling

[Good Job Vamp, your getting better at this. Remember: Your character has five senses, close your eyes and try to describe them in your head before typing. It helps, friendly advice.]

Air had a dance with two pieces of metal that had agendas to make a mark in the world, well more like inside someone lungs - more or less. SIxteen being surely within twenty meters from the opponent and beyond range of close combat had no choice but to watch the errors of his latest action. His own actions were not the only ones in motion, making it's way to it's own location. The thought of a double attack from both directions seems fatal, seems like it would end it all, seems like a solid plan right? Nah bro not at all. From the perception of the African American's eyes, the beast managed to dodge not one but two strikes from the combined forces with what it seemed like an evasive combat roll kind of movement; Though one of the blades swung right past him another manage to actually make a connection, a very solid connection. Not flesh, blood, bones or muscles were even scratched upon this man, beast, vampire, and whatever else people would probably call him. The blast sore just barely past the blood sucker, but it kept in the air in a tunneling direction - Straight towards Sixteen.


Tingling, more like a sound of thunder and a vision of red beyond compare as it reaches a couple of meters in front of the bloodsucker. So his brain already came up with the simple tactic most would do, move the fuck out of the way.

Silently side stepping to the right, the blast went right past his very exclusive black leather jacket, hood fluttered about a split second before the dancing stopped. Sixteen opinion on the breaking weapon was simply unimpressed; He has been trained by death for death's sake, though he wasn't expecting such high durability - Though it wasn't his first time dealing with it. Unfortunately he was not equipped with the equipment to deal with this kind of hard skin, dodging and evading his moves will be easy - But exactly how was he going to defeat him? Guess we'll just have to find out. The man pulled out a sword, well shit when will this ever exactly end? Why fight someone you can't damage? He began to taunt the both of his current opponents in which he brought upon himself. Sixteen obviously got the sword, which is funny because he just tried to use two on him; meanwhile his counterpart of the topic got the gun, probably due to him fighting him at a long distance. Irony at it's finest, at least he knew he wasn't as fast as he was - Or that he couldn't react as fast. The point of that sword glowed red the moment he prepared himself to actually use it against him, the moment it went in motion even by body language he knew exactly where it was headed.


In a single small but effective movement he evaded the first attack, then multiple attacks came in different directions signaling that he wasn't a complete rookie - Almost every attack he threw he was forced to dodge but not counter attack fearing his toughness would be used against him. Explosive danger sound tingled, the man behind him channeling energy for something big, whatever it was - If the danger senses targeted it as a threat, that meant he was in danger; but his facial expression wasn't shown due to the hood anyway - So he had to assume he was dishing out something big enough for the both of us. Meanwhile big guy is taunting while swinging away, although he knows he is nowhere near fast enough to keep up with Sixteen's amazing speed. The exact moment the explosion erupted, Sixteen completely vanished, leaving the angry vampire guy to perish in the quake of the explosion. He ran full speed, more then enough not to get consumed in the attack of energy, at least he knew the new guys full power right?


When the distance stop increasing and it started to die down he made a full 360 turn. Looking at all the mess they had caused, his opinion was bleak; transparent as he dashed and appeared a few inches next to the man responsible of the red energy; he had a couple words for him. He found him through the massive smoke by remembering his exact location before the blast. He spoke in a harsh but curious voice after hearing his bothersome sentence. "I sensed danger, but I did not sense your intent ... So that wasn't meant for the both of us - You were calculating I would escape" his blink was invisible to him but it was still there. All that was left was for the dust to clear and their opponent to likely get back on his feet.

Having seen the man before him move out of the way of several attacks Vampiro knew these men were formidable opponents in which he would find himself noticing via the very manner in which they spoke and sounded and by their actions that they two were in a similar state as he when it came to fighting alone wanting a cause to fight in a group he could just feel it from their presence btu he was a little more concerned about trying to get his revenge shot on this assassin looking man but after noticing the assassin move to avoid something he thought fast and hugged close to a tree still shooting at the assassin resulting in his arms becoming scared to hell and his feet likewise also having been knocked over he heard the other man say he didnt want to fight and Vampiro would agree getting up and doing a handstand backflip to get to the man who released whatever that was at him he would eventually get him back for it so then
"who are you and why are you here? and why are you loooking for me? are you wanting to ally yourself with one of the hardest to kill mercenaries worldwide?"
he would say to them as his arms and feet healed back to their normal state he would look at them examining everything they were doing their body language and everything he wasnt so insane that hed fight for an unattainable victory so he digressed to trying to ally himself with theses quite powerful meta humans noticing that together they covered each others weaknesses where vampiro and the projectile man as VAmpiro would call him in his head may lack in spped the assassin made up for it and the projectile man sure made up for distance attacks where as Vampiro made up for Courage or Craziness whichever these two may have lacked to go head long into any fight.

In a few seconds the speedster showed up next to lucius. This startled him slightly as he thought it might have been the vampire. "I calculate a lot of things in my head, i knew you would be able to out run it easily just as i suspected you had some sort of sensing ability, and you just confirmed my hypothesis. " lucius responded to the man pulling his hood down to cover his face more as he had no mask on. The creature then flipped toward Lucius and the assassin, landing right in front of the two. Lucius was ready to blast him until he spoke, there was no use in trying to kill him so lucius might just want such a person working with him rather then against.

"I work under the handle of Red Tide, i was looking for other people like me, meta humans. If you so desire we could work together, its much easier to operate when you have others at your back. So if you wish to gain money or power it is best to unite or you will probably be terminated by those hero types"   Lucius told to creature then turned to the other man

"i have no idea why you are here, but if you need powerful allies then as you can tell i am, so what do you say?" lucius asked him with a grin on his face. Lucius of course had bigger plans then survival, but for now thats all they needed to know. The two could indeed help him in combat, the speed of the assassin, durability of the creature and the damage output of himself could prove to be an unstoppable force.



((I kind of want this thread over with, so if you want to leave it like this with an assumed ending thats fine. But if you want to do one more post thats ok too))
