At the Absconders base
'Haruto walks into the room, hearing the vomiting. He opens his mouth to say something, but reconsiders it and decides to keep quiet until the regurgitation ceases. Once the puking appeared to have ended, Haruto begins to speak.'

Haruto: So... what happened here? Got the signal, but I was preoccupied with an enemy Tarot. Heard explosions and s-it too.

'Trey and Micah come from the bathroom and Micah is still being helped by Trey. Micah presses a button on his suit and it opens from around him and he walks out of it, sitting back on the couch. The magic armor closes and turns invisible.'

Micah: It was a Klyntar... It's a species of inorganic, amorphous, symbiotic aliens from the Andromeda Galaxy. I've fought another one before but not one like this. Their weaknesses are usually fire and sonic vibrations, but this one was different for some reason. Must've been some kind of evolution.

Trey: Interesting...

Micah: Anyways, it got a hold of that man inside of it and seemed to have achieved perfect symbiosis with it, due to its reaction for when Thad tried to control the man inside. It's a corrupt Klyntar so of course it was spreading havoc all over the city.

Natalie: You were in another fight Trey? Wow... Surprised you made it back on time for supper. She went and sat down next to Trey on the other couch and they shared their food

Haruto: Supper...? For some reason, Haruto was more intrigued with Natalie's choice of words than the fact that a corrupt alien symbiote had just tried to destroy the city. Anyways... I'm 10 out of 22 on Tarot cards. Almost half way to the World's true power. Lovely. Wonder what happens once I get the World... Regardless, it looks like everyone here is still alive, so that's good.

Trey: Yeaaaa. It was weird. 'He took a bite of the strawberry tart and closed his eyes in bliss. 'This is delicious! Thanks babeeee. 'He hugs her and lays on her lap as she giggles and takes some bites of the strawberry tart. '

Alyna walks in from the other room with homework in her hand and sits down in the individual chair with her feet up.

Alyna: Everyone is here again, great. She keeps doing her homework, doing it with Eli to try to finish it soon.

Trey: Want some tart Haruto? It's f*cking great.

Haruto: I'm good. Picked up a sandwich on the way here, gonna eat that. He pulls out the sandwich and unwraps it, taking a bite. What a beautiful duwang... He takes another bite and sits down on the couch

Thad: Wow, only ten minutes ago and you're already on the news... 'He says scrolling through his phone. He then flicks his finger on the screen, generating a hologram from his phone to show everyone. A headline displays saying "Street Supers Strike Symbiote".' Wow the sibilance is killing me. Looks like Nerdist News knows about those Klyntars. Just hope you guys don't catch too much attention.

Eliana: I don't mind the attention, as long as my parents don't find out.

Thad: They won't. Stop worrying about that.

Trey: Wow, already on the news. Awesome. He reaches for his soda on the table, nearing falling off of Natalie's lap and takes a sip of it, then goes right back to eating the strawberry tart.

Micah: We'll be fine. I need to nap or something. It's nearly midnight. He puts his feet up on the table

They heard a groan, as Antonia came in, bloodied, beaten, barely healed from her fight with Virus and she collapsed.

Antonia: Y-You guys...I think I'm gonna die...She says in an almost dazed state.

Alyna: Antonia?? She put down her homework and ran to her, holding her and laying her on the floor What happened to you??

Trey: Woah, what happened??

Antonia: Coughs a bit of blood T-That chic from the bank in Sacramento...She jumped me...As a flying fist...then turned into...other things. She gulps, a bit traumatized by the beating.

Alyna: You'll be okay... 'She surrounds Antonia in water and begins to heal her as the water glows a turquoise color. '

Micah: Another member? What's your name?

Antonia: A-Antonia Masters...The Taskmistress...

Micah: Interesting. Nice to meet you, I'm Micah, sorry I can't heal you... My magic is depleted and I can barely move...

Antonia: Really? F-ck, well, somebody patch me up or dig a hole... She joked, she sounded like she was drunk despite it really being blood loss.

'Alyna heals all the exterior injures and she now concentrates harder to get the interior injuries. '

Alyna: You'll be fine Toni. I got you.

Antonia: Thaaaaaaa...nk--- She passes out.

A Week Later
'Haruto and Eliana decided to get coffee after school, since Trey was busy in detention. They just left with their drinks and were walking slowly down the streets on their way to the Centre.'

Eliana: So what's up with that Giorno guy you met?

Haruto: Giorno? He's another Tarot buckle user like me. Had a brief skirmish, which ended in a draw. He seems like an honorable guy, so he decided we should team up and work towards getting the World cards together. Seemed like a good idea, so we started working together, and we've made a lot of progress. He takes a sip of his cappuccino How's Thad treating you?

Eliana: That's cool. And Thad? Sips her drink. He's calmed down a bit. But when I look at him I feel numb. I don't know whether that's his powers or what. But it looks like he's staying, so let's just try to get him on our side. Anyway, did you see the news? There's a talking frog- wait, over there... That's the girl who was attacking the police station! She points to the two people walking down the opposite side of the street laughing.

Haruto: Wait a minute... That's the guy who robbed the jewelry store! He calmly equips his buckle and prepares a Star card. I don't know what they're doing here, but we better be ready for a fight.

Joker: Hey, hold up a sec, Chloe. That guy's wearing the same belt as the guy who I fought after I took the jewelry... We better put him down now before he gets a chance to turn us in or worse. Joker takes out his bolas and begins spinning them, running at Haruto.

Haruto: Eli, get ready to fight!' Haruto equips his Star Armor and runs at Joker with his Star Slasher in hand, the sword pulsing slightly with cosmic energy. The two clash as the Bolas solidify so that they're able to hold up against the Star Slasher's blade, sparks flying off the sword and steel wires of their weapons.'

Eliana: Aw crap. She transmogrifies the nearest bench into her super suit.

Vice: Don't worry Johnny! I'll kill this crab! She grabs a civilian as they try to resist. Please, calm down. They punch her forcing her to release them. Oh, you're dead! 'She kneels down and punches their gut, as her hand phases into them, she then rips out a ball of energy as they explode into energy, which she consumes. She then suddenly teleports, and appears near Eliana. Eli conjures a knife and slashes at her several times, using her H2H training with it. Vice dodges pretty easily thanks to her speed. Vice then grabs Ellie's knife hand, sending energy into her hand, causing it to glow white then harden and crack. Eliana looks confused then punches Vice, but her hand shatters, all the way up to her forearm too. Vice smiles then spins, slamming her arm across Ellie's face, causing her to fly back to the ground.'

Eliana: *My hand...how?? Ahh!!* 'She then converts bins, benches, ticket meters, and other objects on the street into Emerald energy and absorbs it, then shoots out a salvo of plasma bombs, mostly at Vice. Vice dashes away but her energy depletes and some bombs hit her, sending her to the ground injured.'

Joker: Just stay still so I can splatter your brains all over the ground!' Joker jumps around Haruto, swinging his Bolas charged with energy around at him at different angles. Haruto block each swing with his Star Slasher, calmly thinking of a way to get out of this situation.'

Haruto: *I got it! Let's whip out the Strength card and get the World ready!*' Haruto quickly switches into his Strength armor, grabbing a World card and punching it. The card shatters into pieces and sticks to his hand, both briefly glowing a faint yellow as Haruto punches Joker's bolas away. F--k! He shakes the hand he used to punch the bolas away' That hurt so much more than I thought it would...

Joker: Idiot! Take my Bola Boomerang!! Joker spins the Bolas then launches them at Haruto, who dodges.

Haruto: That's it?

Joker: Of course not! The Bolas reflect off the nearest wall and right back at Haruto.

Haruto: Good. Za Warudo!!' Haruto restores the World card to his hand and freezes time, the bolas stopping mid-air a few inches from the back of his head. He walks out of the way, then punches the bolas closer to Joker before unfreezing time. Toki wa ugoki dasu. As time resumes, the Bolas smack Joker in the face, sending him backwards as they fall into his hands.'

Joker: Oh, bulls*it! He rubs the area where his bolas hit him before splashing some water from a nearby water fountain at Haruto, charging them with energy to make them into sharp flying disks.

Haruto: Heh, Dorarararararaaaa!! Haruto punches each of the disks in a barrage of fists, reverting them back to normal drops of water that fall to the ground before punching the ground in front of him and charging at Joker.

Eliana: What have you done to my hand you c*nt! Eliana says, holding her handless arm, facing Vice, whom is laughing the whole time.

Vice: Haha, I destroyed it. 'She looks up, arms out as if summoning something, but absorbs the energy from several people around her, then dashes up a building, standing at the top of it. She then jumps off, down at Ellie, turning herself into pure grey energy, then crashes down to the ground, creating a small explosion in the street. Eliana emerges with a purple shield around her. She then generates a rope around Vice and reels her in, punching her as she absorbs Ruby energy from her. Eliana then fires a beam of red plasma at her, which hits Vice and burns her, but Vice teleports suddenly after, appearing behind Ellie.'

Vice: You absorb life force too? Crazy. 'She grabs Ellie from behind, trying to absorb energy from her, but Eliana counteracts it with Ruby, which poisons Vice when she tries to absorb Ellie. Vice steps back, holding her head in pain.' Ah, screw you.

Eliana: My hand will grow back, you know.

Vice: Yeah...but your head won't! 'She charges her arm with energy then slices it at Ellie, who dodges it, then blasts herself forward with plasma thrusters propelling her legs, at Vice. Ellie punches her through the air, and continues hitting her with many one-hand punches until her thrusters run out. Then drop to the floor, Vice dazed and stunned.'

Eliana: I've killed stronger people than you, and it takes me long to drop my morals to kill a human.

Vice: Ugh, don't put too much value in the lives of others. It doesn't affect you.

Eliana: I don't kill for fun, either, unlike you.

Vice: It's not for fun! Are you talking about that San Francisco boy? He was asking for it, interrupting me on my way back to my friends!

Eliana: You, you're messed up. She charges up Ruby energy ready to fire.

Haruto: Time to pull out all the stops here... Haruto summons the Star Slasher and inserts a World card into it, charging up the attack several times. Platinum Distort, Multi-charge!

Joker: Oh no, you f--king don't! Life-Force Maximum Overdrive!!' Joker charges up his arms with tons and tons of energy while Haruto's Star Slasher forms a ball of distorting energy from the barrel of its gun form. Haruto fires the ball at Joker, who counters by punching it with the charged energy. The ball begins to release its distortion, but the energy from Joker's attack negates the majority of its effect, simply causing all the energy from their attacks to disappear as if nothing had happened. W-what... He's panting from releasing so much energy' The hell just happened...?

Haruto: The distortion just disappeared... *No damage, no erasures, no abnormal effects on anything... It just vanished... What in the world happened to the World's attack?*

'Eliana was about to shoot Vice, but she suddenly disappeared, all Eli heard was "too slow haha!", then was pushed to the floor. She saw Vice running towards Haruto and Joker, she then throws an energy grenade at Haruto and goes to Joker.'

Vice: Come on John, we're leaving. We'll kill them with the others later. It'll be more fun.

Joker: You got it. Let's bounce! Joker runs off with Vice just as the energy grenade is about to detonate

Haruto: S-it! Naosu!' His hands glow yellow as he jumps back while the ground that he punched apart begins to form into a shield-like slab that takes the brunt of the energy grenade's damage while the force of the explosion knocks him back towards Eli. He lands next to her as his visor cracks and falls apart, revealing his left eye' Close call... You okay, Eli?

Eliana: Yeah...hand is already growing back. Should be done by the time we get back. Thanks. But look, they're only over there, should we follow them? See where they're going?

Haruto: Let's tail them and see where they're hiding out. And while I'm here...' Haruto grabs onto Eli's regrowing limb. Their arms glow yellow as Eli's hand begins to reform quicker, her hand returning to normal after a few seconds Might as well fix this up. He lets go of her hand and gets up.' Better?

Eliana: Wow...thank you Hunter! She fiddles around her hand, smiling. Should we take your bike? It's not too far, and would blend in better.

Haruto: No problem. Bike's parked over there, let's get going quick.' They walk over to Hunter's bike and get on. He revs up the engine and begins to follow them in the traffic of L.A. Eventually, they're lead to the Centre. He parks his bike in its usual spot as they watch Vice and Joker walk into the building.' No way...

Eliana: Did...do they know we stay there or...no...they also live at the Centre?!

Haruto: This is insane... Let's keep tailing them. Haruto gets off his bike after cutting the engine, then rushes into an empty space to cancel his transformation, walking into the Centre to keep following the two.

'Eliana follows him after them. They see them sign in and everything. They take the elevator up, while Haruto and Ellie go up the stairs, until they find the floor they stop at. The two then follow Vice and Joker slowly, until they see them enter a room together, and more voices are heard.'

Eliana: So it's true then... What should we do? Burst in there?

Haruto: No, there might be more than we can handle if we just walk in there... Besides, we should rest up. You must be tired after all that fight. I know I am... Haruto taps a button on the buckle which causes the belt to retract, allowing him to remove the buckle and store it in his jacket.

Eliana: True... We should just head back, tell the others and probably attack them later. We do have the advantage of an ambush. She forms her regular clothing then they head back to their floor and into their dorm.

Three Hours Later
'It was 7 pm, the sun was starting to set, as the Absconders and friends were relaxing in their dorm room. School was cancelled for the rest of the week due to a honey badger infestation, so some of them decided to relax the whole day, while others took this opportunity to study. It was pretty much a quite evening, not much happened, and the people of the Centre were slipping into torpor. Then, at around 7:25 pm, a loud constant beep was heard throughout the Centre's halls and rooms. Everyone jumped out their seats upon hearing this, and some blocked their ears due to the loud sound. The noise then died down a bit, as a muffled voice was heard over the noise. It sounded scared, desperate, yet serious and panicking. The voice was unclear and shaky at first, before becoming clear enough for everyone to make out the words.'

Mysterious Voice: OUT OF THERE NOW! EVERYONE! LISTEN TO ME! GET OUT OF THE CENTRE RIGHT NOW! GET OUT OF THERE NOW! THE BUILDING IS GOI~ HURRY UP! THIS IS NOT A PRANK, LEAVE IF YOU WANT TO LIVE! 'The voice repeats itself, more of the same, a warning for everyone. The Absconders and friends all exchanged dire worried looks.'

Eliana: Guys?! We should listen, it seems really serious!

'Trey looks up from his drawing pad and looks around frantically. He gets up from his seat and goes to the group.'

Trey: Should we leave??? What if it is a prank?!

Alyna: His voice... Sounds very desperate and scared. It can't be fake. 'She gets up a little panicky and runs to the window opening it. 'Guys?

Eliana: 'Runs to the door, opening it to see out into the hall. She sees some people get up and look outside their rooms, and hears other people telling the alarm to shut up and mostly ignoring it. 'Guys, we should warn everyone else, no one's listening. Just in case it's real.

Haruto: Hm... Constant beeping, and a frantic voice... You don't think it's a bomb, do you...? I heard a kid at school talking about sending a bomb somewhere, but I didn't believe it myself. *If it was a bomb, the World wouldn't be enough help to evacuate, considering the five-second limit. There's gotta be a way to extend the limit...*

Eliana: A bomb...?! Thad?

Thad: I can't prevent something like this.

Eliana: Then we gotta get everyone out.

'They all run out into the hall, trying to tell as many people to run. Thad uses his mind control to help them, but only a small amount of people actually listen. They leave to the ground floor, and see the staff trying to prevent the panic, saying it is a "system bug". Eventually, after convincing a fraction of the residents to evacuate, they exit out the main entrance of the Centre. Everyone piles outside, flooding the streets as they look around in bewilderment, many people complaining. The Absconders meet up through the crowd then look at the Centre. After a minute, the crowd dies down a tad, but then suddenly, a huge explosion engulfs the Centre, spreading outwards and swallowing everyone in a desperate attempt to leave. The explosion stretches almost to the streets, but the force still blasts the survivors away. They all get up, to watch the burning destruction of the once-prestigious Endo-Corps Superhuman Centre. They see the screaming individuals in the crowd, some poor souls tried to escape but were too late. They watched in horror, they couldn't believe what they just witnessed.'

Eliana: No...no! How?!

Haruto: I can't believe this... 'Haruto dropped to his knees, shocked and horrified as their headquarters was blown to pieces. Tears began to streak down his face as the flames consumed the building, slowly reducing it to ashes. It's gone... It's really gone... M-maybe I can use Strength to restore it... Haruto reached into his jacket to get out his Buckle, shaking as he put it on and tried to find a Strength Card. Giorno, who was on his way to the Centre anyway, walked up to him and grabbed his shoulder.'

Giorno: Even with our combined efforts, Haruto, there's no way we could fix everything... I'm sorry... but the Endo-Corps Superhuman Centre... has met its demise... Even Giorno began to tear up despite not having spent much time here.

Haruto: Goddammit...!' He punched the ground as hard as he could, not caring if he broke his fist or the ground. He was more or less crying at this point, repeatedly punching the ground to vent his grief for the loss of their beloved Centre.'

Eliana: This is impossible! This can't have happened!! 'She starts screaming, as several people in the crowd start screaming as she absorbs their Ruby energy and starts glowing, as do her eyes. She sets on fire, though it is red and plasmic. She screams in anger, but Thad grabs her and tries to calm her.'

Thad: Eliana, this won't solve anything.

Eliana: All those people inside! They're dead!! Who did this?!

Thad: You losing control is the last thing you need. Someone caused this, that is obvious, but if you want to find out who you need to calm down!

She does so, as her energy cancels and she returns back to normal, though reduced to tears.

Eliana: Why would someone do this...

'Alyna looks in horror as the huge building on fire starts to topple over and more screaming and crying is heard. She turns her head in fear as the building begins to fall due to the structure failing. She looks towards Trey and sees him on the ground angry just slamming onto the ground and looking at the wreckage and falling building. Tears start to roll down his eyes as he wipes it away and just watches the rest happen. Alyna walks to him and hugs him tightly, trying her best to comfort him. '

'In the distance, on top of some buildings, several figures watch over the destruction of the Centre. They are in clear view, lit up by the great fire. They are wearing capes and dark clothing, like some assassins. The Absconders see them, before they turn and run away.'

Eliana: Did you see them?

Haruto: What... who were they...?' Haruto had managed to wipe away his tears in time to see the assassins disappear. His hand was bruised greatly from punching the ground so much.' What are they doing here...?

Eliana: They had cloaks on...You don't think they...caused this?

Antonia: They better f-king hope they didn't, because this was solace, my safe haven, my fresh beginningl They tried to kill all of us They then notice her body heating up from chi a tiny bit.

'Everyone just groups up, talks then each goes back to their houses safely. '

5 hours later
'It is now 12:30am, so January 12th, and Trey is laying in bed still thinking about the incident. He finally gets up after laying there for an hour and goes to the kitchen to make something to eat. '

Trey: Midnight snack won't hurt, now would it. He says to himself

'He gets the pineapple pizza out of the fridge and warms it up in the oven, and sits at the family table, watching T.V. waiting for the pizza to warm up. His mother isn't in the house and currently has matters to deal with at Saturn's moon, Titan. As he's waiting for the pizza to warm, he thinks he hears a constant ringing going on. He gets up and sharpens his hearing and realizes it's a ringtone of a song he likes and he jogs up the stairs and into the room. He grabs the phone and sees that it's a Blocked Caller ID. He hesitates but picks up the phone. '

Trey: ''Um, hello? Who is this? ''

Unknown Caller: ''Hey, I hope you are one of the heroes. ''

Trey: ''Heroes? I guess so... Who is this? ''

Unknown Caller: ''I can't reveal that, but you have to trust me. This is a really dire situation. I'm the one that warned you lot to leave the Endo Corp building before it got blown up. I have more information on that.''

Trey: ''What?! How do I know you didn't do it? ''

Unknown Caller: ''Why the hell would I do it and warn you to leave? ''

Trey: He sighs Okay fine, where do I meet you.

Unknown Caller: ''Do you know the abandoned building along 29th and Main? I'm there, on the 4th floor.''

Trey: ''Okay. See you there. ''

Unknown Caller: ''Thank you for trusting me. This situation is bigger than all of us.''

Trey: *Sure, whatever.* ''Alright. Bye. '''He hangs up the phone and goes to his closet to put on an outfit consisting off a hoodie, sweatpants and a lace-less low top shoe. He throws the hood over his head and dials Eli's number. As the call is going through he runs to the kitchen, takes out of the pizza from the oven and puts it on a plastic plate and begins to eat it. '

Eliana: 'She answers the phone, sounding depressed and tired. 'What is it, Trey?

Trey: ''Hey, well this guy just called me about information on the incident about the Centre and wants me to visit him. And I kind of DON'T want to go alone. It might be a trap. ''

Eliana: ''The hell? Maybe he knows who did it? Either way it brings us closer to dealing with whoever did it. We should go, give me ten minutes, I'll meet you there. Should I bring Thad and the others?''

Trey: ''No, we don't want to get them involved. Just get Haruto. It's at 28th and Main. He said he'd be on the 4th floor. I'll meet you like a block away or something.''

Eliana: ''Alright, I'm coming, bye. She hangs up.''

'Trey puts his phone in his sweatpant pocket and brings the plate with him out the door. He locks it and runs out jumping over the house and onto the hills of Hollywood Hills eventually getting on the main streets. He runs really fast, not wanting to let the pizza slip out of the plate and he still eats. He eventually gets to 28th and Main and has already finished the pizza. He throws the plate in a nearby garbage can, and gets on top of a building and sits at the edge, seeing the abandoned building a block away on 29th and Main. He looks around waiting for Eliana and Haruto. Eliana arrives but Haruto isn't there yet. She is wearing a dark red hoodie and yoga pants.'

Eliana: *There he is.* 'Her feet glow blue, as she jumps super high, gently landing on the building next to Trey. 'Hey, Trey. I called Haruto, he'll be here soon.

'Haruto arrives at the building on an electric motorcycle, using his cosmic energy to mute the bike even further. After parking it in a hidden spot, Haruto gets off and jumps to where everyone else is, using cosmic energy to get up there and land as quietly and gently as possible.'

Haruto: What's going on up here? He's wearing a black hoodie over a dark grey t-shirt with dark blue sweatpants, having gotten dressed in a hurry

Trey: Okay. So, I'm going to get in there first, and when I quickly send a telepathic signal, you guys come in and help me. I'll be relaying all the information he's telling me to you guys while he's talking. I've done it before and it's pretty great actually. 'He looks at them and chuckles. 'Okay, let's get into position. Anywhere you guys want. Just please don't make yourself noticeable. He looks at Haruto then peeks over the building they're standing on to look at the electric motorcycle.

Haruto: Don't worry about the electric bike, I've had it for a while. Stealthier than the other bikes.' Haruto equips his buckle and transforms into his Priestess armor quietly. The armor begins to fade into the background behind it as he turns invisible.'

Eliana: Psychic is good at stealth. Just call us if he shows any sign of aggression.

'Trey nods and stretches. He jumps off the building and dashes towards the abandoned building. He gets in and looks around and eventually heads up to the 4th floor where the guy is sitting down. He turns and stands.'

Trey: Are you the guy?

Assassin: 'He was wearing dark clothing with a cape over his back, hooded but the hood was removed and he looked scared but serious. On the back of his cape was a bronze logo of an eagle. He had holstered weapons but no intention to use them.' Yes. You came. Thank God. Yes, it was me who gave that warning in the Centre, so tragic that more didn't make it out in time. But you did, the rest of the Absconders too.

Trey: You know about the Absconders??

Assassin: Yes, all the superheroes living at the Centre, the Absconders, the Erratics, the Young Et-

Trey: How do you know us?

Assassin: I was tasked with the assassination of the superhumans in the Centre.

Trey: What?! Then why shouldn't I kill you now?!

Assassin: Because I can help you. They wanted me to destroy all those innocents, I couldn't, so I defected, and attempted to save the heroes living there, and it worked.

Trey: Who's they?

Assassin: The Seven Virtues. It's an assassin company, very dangerous and powerful. I am one of them, or was. They are not what they used to be, I just needed the money, but my superiors have become cruel, wanting me to kill superhumans.

Trey: Why?

Assassin: Unity.

Trey: What do you mean?

Assassin: I'm sorry, I can't say anything else. They won't let me. They control me.

Trey: Who won't let you? You defected, you're free to tell me. Who exactly is controlling you?

Assassin: I'm sorry. I cannot speak their names. I do not dare it.

Trey: Just tell me! They won't hurt you, you can save people if you just tell us.

Assassin: I mustn't say more! He pulls out a knife, then, to Trey's disgust, cuts his own tongue out, dropping the blade, crying in pain.

Trey: What the f*ck!

Assassin: 'He mumbles, tryng to say something. Trey enters his mind, only to see his fear of a rising threat, so Trey senses this as a warning then looks around, running to hide behind some objects. Suddenly, several assassins jump in through the windows and rush over to the man. One of the assassins is wearing the same cloak but with a silver logo on the back of his cape, while the rest had bronze logos. He walks to the defected assassin.'

Silver Assassin: Tch tch, so much trouble you have caused your brothers. Why? You hacked the Centre's speakers, and warned everyone to escape. Why? Do you want them to live? Are you a traitor? The assassin moans. You have failed the Seven Virtues. You have proved unworthy of your gift, and your life. You have betrayed the loyalty of your brothers. May your death drag you down into endless suffering. The assassin cries loudly, as the silver assassin slices his throat in one swift slice, returning the blade back into his sheathe. I never understand the lesser ones not realising the gift they have. Let's go.

'Trey is surprised at this and closes his eyes to think. He opens them again when he's done thinking and decides to wait and escape since he does not want to fight. As he's waiting he doesn't hear their footsteps anymore, so he gets up to finally jump from the building onto the ground. When he gets up though, a few projectiles head his way and he turns around using telekinesis to stop really sharp chopsticks. Suddenly one of the assassins runs at him and kicks him in the shoulder with immense force, which sends him flying out of the building. As he's falling a female assassin with a staff jumps out of the building after him. She points the staff down at Trey as they're both falling and the staff suddenly extends at Trey, hitting him in his stomach, sending him down at the ground even faster. He hits the ground hard, cracking it under him and the staff retracts to the assassin. '

Trey: O-Ow...

'More assassins land all around the front field of the abandoned building. The front field of the abandoned building has a little grass on it, and more dirt. There's also a concrete path to the building, which takes up a lot of the field as well. He turns onto his hands and knees to try to get himself up, but he looks up to see a lot of rags surround his body, blocking any light. Trey tries to dash away but the rags wrap around his whole body, covering him and tightening, so he looks like a mummy. '

Rag-Controlling Assassin: That defect must've gave you information. Now you've got to perish as well. 'He closes his fist as he walks to Trey, the rags constricting Trey's movement. The rags even covered Trey's eyes and when he tried to grab the rags off his eyes, they tightened even more. Suddenly another assassin walks up and starts to breath immense fire out of his mouth at Trey. The fire seems to have dark highlights in it. As the flames hit Trey, they don't melt the rags for some reason, but they start to burn off very slowly. Trey's body begins to heat up as the intense irregular fire shoots at him and seems to surround his body. The fire keeps projecting and scorches the little grass behind Trey up until the building. The fire had lots of force behind which began to push him back. But Trey gets his stance and walks towards the fire breathing assassin as he shoots more fire. '

Trey: YAAARRGGG!! 'He walks closer and closer to the fire breathing assassin very slowly but none of the assassins notice Trey walking towards him since he seems to be consumed by the fire. He keeps yelling as he gets closer and closer and the rags around his eyes burn off first. His eyes are glowing dark blue because of his anger, and because of this he walks more and more and finally reaches the assassin. The assassin suddenly sees a rag-wrapped arm reach out fast and grab his face. Trey's palm wraps around his face and his fingers on his temples and Trey immediately slams the assassin's face into the ground, which stops the fire breathing. He slams his face into the ground so hard that he creates a crater and it also sends out some dirt and concrete at the surrounding assassins. Trey repeatedly slams the assassin's head into the ground about 8 times, creating a deeper and deeper crater. '

Rag-Controlling Assassin: What the- 'Trey takes his hands off the dead assassin's face and walks out from the deep crater he made. As Trey is walking out from the crater, dust is blowing out of it and Trey walks out completely, as he's finished unwrapping the rags from around his body. A trail of rags are behind him and his eyes are glowing dark blue as he looks evil and angry. His skin seem to be slightly scaly like a reptiles, which is what helped him not be affected by the fire. The rag assassin immediately sends more out at Trey, but he dashes at him dodging the rags and punches the assassin square in the stomach, making him puke and lose all of his breath. Trey then uppercuts him into the air, and looks back at the other assassins, as they only see glowing eyes. He runs at another assassin, not knowing what they can do but, the terrain under Trey shifts backwards and he looks down. Suddenly a large portion of the ground lifts up, sending Trey backwards, and lots of boulders form to fall on him. As Trey hits the floor, he unleashes his charged up eye blasts at the falling boulders and disintegrates them. He bolts away from the shifting terrain as more assassins chase him. The staff assassin shoots their staff at Trey, but he turns around, grabs it, and violently pulls her towards him, grabbing her arm and flinging her down into the ground next to him. '

Another Assassin: Hurry and kill him! He's nothing!! 'He jumps and throws his knifes at Trey which simply bounce off of his skin. Trey stops running and skids to a stop, elongating his arm up at the assassin which is in the air, pulling him down and throwing him at the abandoned building. Another assassin who comes up behind him grabs Trey and starts to crush him, but Trey expands his mass and size to break out. He shrinks back down and dodges another attack from an assassin by flying, but flies back down and kicks down on the assassin's back with immense force, breaking his spine. '

'Trey feels the terrain under him moving again and it starts to form a mall mixed with dirt and concrete. Trey shape shifts his hand into a futuristic looking spike and shoots it (basically elongating it) at the terrain wall, as it pierces through, then pierces the terrain-controlling assassin. He gulps for air as it punctured his lung, then Trey has his arm return to him normal length. '

Trey: Defeated 8 of them... 'He takes off running and jumps on buildings to escape as fast as possible. He looks around not seeing Eli and Haruto wondering if they've escaped with him already. '

'Haruto snuck around and sprinted towards Trey, freezing time and grabbing him. Then, he began to run for where he had parked the bike earlier, time resuming its flow on the way. They get on and drive off, hoping Eli had escaped and was able to find them since they couldn't get to her in time. As they're driving, they take an exit and are lead to an abandoned train tunnel with a few unused train cars nearby, taking refuge in the tunnel temporarily.'

Haruto: I think we lost them... He cut the bike's engine and parked it, looking behind them to be sure But we should be careful. They might have followed us all the way here...

Eliana was hidden on the opposite side of the warehouse, and run to the area of dead assassins to find Trey.

Eliana: *They're all dead? Wow, I guess Trey made it out. Now where did they run off...* 'Her eyes turn blue as she looks around and sees two trails of blue mist. She follows that, the trails of psychic energy left by Trey and Haruto, using her Sapphire energy to dash and jump around to reach them quickly, arriving to see Haruto and Trey with the parked bike.' Hey guys, what happened back there? You killed them all yourself?

Trey: Well yea. They tried killing me so... I didn't mean to kill them to be honest. Glad you could make it back though! 'He stands up stretching and taking the hood off of his head, and looking around the abandoned tunnel. 'Dammit, where did those ninjas come from? They just killed the guy that tried to help me.

Eliana: Yeah we picked that up from the telepathic connection. I don't understand...if he's loyal enough to...cut his own tongue out...why did he defect? And they killed him for it. Who are these guys...Seven Virtues...

Trey: I don't know. Guess we really can't find out unless one of those ninjas try to kill me, or us. Just gotta watch our backs.

Eliana: And in the mean time we're lacking a base...My parents can't know about my powers so anywhere near my house is off limits. You guys know anywhere?

Haruto: Why not... here? It's empty, abandoned, and easily accessible through the train tunnels. We can block up this tunnel with rocks or train cars, then Eli can manipulate the stuff into making it into a wall just like the ones around us. We'll use a train car as the main entrance. Trey can leave an illusion to hide the car while we're not here. Then we can reconstruct the tunnel here as much as we want.
