In the dark of the Night, a lone figure wanders the streets of Talos Island in search of answers.
Noticing an illuminated sign in the window of a shop, he stops to stare. The Future Dynamics store in Talos Island stocks all kinds of Energy foods and drinks, everything the budding hero should ever need to keep himself stocked up. The lights are still on and heroes come and go despite it being the middle of the night.
Steadily, the figure makes his way over...
Future Dynamics - Talos Island
No Mi, I can't come see you, I'm working all night. a young man is talking on the phone behind the counter, he pauses as he listens intently to his girlfriends voice. It's probably more scared of you... just get it with a glass and some paper. The ring of a bell signals a customer out front. Hey, I'll phone you back, stay strong...! he smiles at the reply from the other side. Haha, okay, I love you.
The clerk hangs up the phone turns around and picks up a green apron, wincing lightly for a second. It's hot in here... he makes his way to the front of the shop, ducks down behind the counter and taps the thermostat which reads fifteen degrees. Hmm... Jimmy the shop Clerk rises to his feet quickly.
WOA! half jumping from his skin he holds his hand to his mouth and attempts to calm his nerves.
H-hi, can I h-help you? he asks the figure standing before him.
The strange man raises his hand to chest height, his pale eyes fixed on the Clerk, he gestures to continue by rolling his fingers in a circle and nodding slowly.
Um... Are you okay? the figure just continues his gesture. You're... okay that's good. Can I sell you anything? Again, the figure says nothing, his eyes fixed on Jimmys face. I guess that... that means yes then... Um. So you must be a hero! Right, well, as you can see we sell... Jimmy pauses in his speech. Are you sure... you're okay?
The figure nods, intently. Sorry, you just look... a little... crispy. Heh heh! Um, right, we sell, a range of muscle supplements, weapons, ammunition... um, aswell as a range of drinks and foods--
The figure raises his hand with a flash, pointing two fingers at Jimmy's throat. Yes. speaks the man finally, Jimmy points to the food cabinet quivering slightly. The strange man turns to make his way to the back of the shop, emitting a gentle smoky haze and the smell of burnt flesh as he goes.
Jimmy took a deep breath, and followed after the man who was now staring intently at a selection of PowerBar's and Heroade in various flavours in a glass chiller cabinet. The man raises his hand as the glass seems to melt away.
Jimmy's eyes tightened as he took a serious tone. Sir. You're gonna have to pay for damaging that.
The strange man turns his head robotically towards Jimmy while still rummaging through the chiller cabinet. I need this Energy. he speaks in a hushed tone. He turns back to the cabinet, grabs the shelf and lifts the entire machine a foot from the ground.
Sir... I need you to put that down. spoke Jimmy with an increasing tone of Authority.
The strange man made for the door with the massive Cabinet in one hand.
Right... said Jimmy, as he clenched his hands into fists. A blinding white aura filled the room, as the humble shop-clerk unleashed his secret power.
The strange man stopped in his tracks, turning back to Jimmy, who's eyes were now glowing intensely, his soul bound Kheldian filling his body with super-human powers. ...put it down. he commanded in an ethereal multi-tonal alien voice.
The strange man gently rested the cabinet on the floor, turning to face Jimmy full on... as he did, the glass that had melted, seemed to regrow, mending the cabinet perfectly. Do you wish to do Battle? questioned the peculiar man inquisitively, arching his neck to one side as he spoke, sizing Jimmy up.
Jimmy took no chances, unleashing a huge blast of snow white Kheldian energy at the super-shoplifter. Hitting him square in the chest, the figure was catapulted through the front door, taking it clean off it's hinges, before landing 10 feet away in the road, skidding across the tarmac to hit the kerb.
The Peacebringer sprinted outside, leaping over the road in one bound to land at the strange man's feet, in the pouring rain. A truck's headlights filled the road with blinding light as it's tires squealed to stop.
The Assailant quickly kicked Jimmy's feet from beneath him, leapt upright and slammed into the truck with his open palms, bearing it's full weight on his slender heat scorched arms the Truck lifted up from the road in a full 90 degrees vertical circle. Now holding the truck above Jimmy the Assailant span and placed the truck gently on the other side of the road.
As he did, his gaze fixed back on Jimmy. Bending down, he grabbed Jimmy by the scruff of the neck and lifted him from the floor. Jimmy, furiously punched and kicked at the Assailant with little more effect than annoyance and then with a single throw, the man threw Jimmy back into his shop some 20 feet away with perfect accuracy. Jimmy just slid along the shop floor, bumping his head lightly against the Shop counter, while the Assailant darted across the street into the shop after him.
I will be requiring a weapon. spoke the strange man, throwing out his hand in the direction of the weapons cabinet, while standing some distance away from an angry looking Peacebringer.
A Katana in the cabinet began to shake and rattle in it's holster before crashing through the glass to land neatly in his hand. Thanks for your assistance, good night. he nodded towards Jimmy polietly as he turned on the spot and bolted for the door.
On the street outside he looked left, then right and ran down the street in that direction. Jimmy decided he was too tired and shaken to chase after him, pulling himself up to his feet, and powering down.
Who the hell was that guy? he asked himself and his Kheldian friend as he dusted himself down.
