Parahumans: the First Dawn

Hearing Esaias' words blood started flowing through my vines like a river at its springs. I never accepted defeat and I never will. I held the handles tightly, turned my head arond and whispered to Glade: "Hold on."
Watching her holding onto the bike a smirk showed up on my face. (Let's see what these girls can do.) I suddenly pulled the acceleration and went flying on one wheel, then aligning with the road again to just gain a speed which would've made Glade fall off if i didn't catch her on your arm. "Hold tight! Stuff's gonna get crazy!"
Finally reaching Esaias from behind:
"Think you can race me? Mine is basicly a BatBike! See ya!" I yelled over to the other motorcycle right before pressing a button, propelling me and Glade with incredible speeds thanks to the force if nitrogen dioxide. (Aka nitrous)

She rolls her eyes at the display as Tyler suddenly goes shooting forward with the help of some nitrous. "You know what's better than a batbike!?" Esaias shouts ahead at him as he gets further away, and she reaches over, pressing a button on the right handle, and suddenly, they shoot forwards as small boosters on the back start consuming fuel from the gas tank, and they launch forward, at the cost of ridiculous amounts of gas. They practically shoot past Tyler and Glade, and as they pass, she holds out her arm, hitting Tyler straight in the face with a slap. "SEE-YA!" she shouts, just before the boosters stop, and she is left at least 20 seconds ahead of them in terms of nitrous. She starts rolling back to her original speed, almost equal with his.

Surprised by the smack in my head i get a weird flash in my mind, as if someone was opening all the doors of my self-constient. I strangely felt much more controlled.
"HEY ESAIAS! YOU SAW WHAT I CAN DO! WANNA MAKE ME DO IT AGAIN?" I yelled over to thr other vehicle, both going at crazy speeds on the street, aproaching the hospital.
(Well, braking at this speed isn't really a good idea... Welp.) i thought to myself seeing our goal. "Esaias! My... uhh... My brakes don't quite work XD"

​

"Maybe! Know anybody who's good at it!?" She shouts back, then revs her engine with a chuckle, and hitting the brake as she notices that they're getting within range of the hospital, making an audible, slight screech as she suddenly whooshes past Tyler in the lack of speed - and she extends her hand again just for the heck of it, this time catching him on the ear. "Might wanna slow down there, mister kryptonite!"

 

[xTordX]

"Oh for fuuuUUUUUAAAHHH!!!" I was interrupted by the most terrifying thing i could see at that point: a wall. (Dum DUM DUUUM)
In my slight anger i managed to warn Glade and jump off the bike. "Glade! Jump, now!" We managed to jump off and roll as we've fallen off.
My thoughts at the moment weren't exacly worthy of a gentlemen. Not at all, really. Swearing in my mind i stood on my knees and hands, stared at Esaias for a split second and send her a focused small wave, giving her the same feeling i had when she smacked me.
"Don't do that. Ever." I said, slightly more calm as i stood up on my feet. "Glade, are you all right?" I asked looking at her.

|Parking Lot|
Using a stationary wave to keep Sarah back from Dennis, Jack stepped out of the hospital and into the parking lot.
"Guys, seriously, fighting amongst ourselves will help nobody. We need to work together against these deliverers, and I guess it's time I divulged some information. First of all, these guys, the deliverers, the ones who attacked you. Dennis, the earth-guy who attacked you was Alin. He manipulates stone, earth, anything like hat, and his body is made from it. Sarah, it was Garren who attacked you - he has a sort of telekinesis with electrics. Simon - you were attacked by Ior. Just think of him being near-invincible and hugely strong.
I guess you want to know how I found out, then... well, I was attacked, the same as you, by Ka'az. She sort of gives you knowledge, but it hurts like ten migraines when she gives it to you, though it lasts only a minute or two. I only escaped when I fired a wave at her and managed to suppress her for long enough with them, but hey, now I know some useful stuff. I've no idea where she's gone now, though. That's also how I know your names, I suppose. I'm jack, I don't think I mentioned that earlier.
Anyway, now, you guys need to practice with your powers. Sarah, just focus on two particular spots, maybe that'll work. Simon, throw some stuff, rocks or whatever, see if you can move them mid-flight."

She scoffs and smirks as he falls down onto the pavement, but as he gets up onto his hands and knees, slowly stops before feeling a slap across her cheek. "Oww! Hey... it was just a joke... I would've been fine with you doing the same to me..." she mutters under her breath as she rubs the side of her cheek with a hand, trying to rub away the imaginary pain. "Well, I hope you're okay - that crash could've turned out a lot more nasty. And, uh... well..." She gestures over to his bike, which she assumes took some damage from the crash, but she couldn't quite see from this angle. "Your bike is probably going to have to go in for repairs after that one, bud."

I take a look at my ex-bike.
"Scrap metal. I can afford a new one. Hey... You felt my hit? I guess you smacking me in the face helped a bit..."
I take a look around to see some people talking in the hospital's parking lot.
"Hey, look over there! Maybe they know something? Or maybe they're like us! Huh, that would be awesome. Anyway let's go." I said walking towards the 3 people.
I suddenly feel a massive headache and fall on my knees once again. (No gain without pain, i guess.)

The attack doesn't pierce, rather it bounces off the hardened skin on the "zombie", and the force of impact sends the blade right out of your hands, spinning right out of your hands and into the floor before slowly fizzling into the air.

"If he's this fucking juggernaut that can't be stopped, how hasn't he ruled the world yet? And why, specifically, did he come after a guy who has spent his entire life as unremarkable?"

I had a rock in my hands that I was repeatdly throwing up and down, trying to get it to change trajectories mid-air. Probably it was working, but I wasn't 100% sure.

Still, I just wanted to throw that rock in frustation.

Why me? Why? Why was I one of the few freaks in the world to get powers? So I could get to stand out? But to whom?

"Hey, if any of you need a place to sleep or something, my apartment's got a free room. Still, don't steal anything from it."

She chuckles as she watches him pretty much topple over as soon as he tries walking, and walks over, offering him a hand. "Somebody's a bit clumsy. Then again, we're still getting used to our powers, so... this'll probably have some weird effects on us while we're still practicing." Esaias looks over to the people, looking them up and down quickly as she waits for Tyler to grab her hand so she can pull him up. Weird, they look like they're practicing their powers... same as us, I guess, but why in the middle of public when there's an asphalt guy running around? Meh. She grabs Tyler's hand and pulls him up to his feet, still looking at the people curiously.

Well, shit. All that dancing around was for nothing.

I stare at the sword as it slowly fades away into nothingness. For a moment, it feels like I'm watching my hopes disappear. An immortal opponent, who appears to be impervious to attack. Then I remember the kick, and how the head, now fully reformed, had exploded into nothingness. I remember the sluggishness that had taken over its movements. I snap my gaze back to my opponent, noting that the arms were still rising.

Right, quick strategy time. Sword didn't work. Kick worked. Theories.

1. Armour at front, but not back. Testing requires making another sword. Takes too long.
2. Green glow indicates an armoured area. Testing requires making another sword. Not enough time.
3. Zombie is invulnerable to sharp objects, but weak to blunt force trauma. Now we're cookin' with gas.

Mindful of my second theory, I avoid attacking the torso. I put my free hand up to support the shield, thrusting it upwards and limiting the length of its downswing, as well as blocking its view of my attack. I swing my left foot around behind its right foot in an attempt to lock the foot in place. I raise my right leg and thrust downwards, trying to deliver a Yoko Geri Kikomi to the knee of its right leg.

I'm glad to see Esaias come and help me get up. I grab her hand and rise myself up.
"Ugh... Thanks. I'm quite tired after the crash. Mind calling them? Maybe they'll notice us." I asked her while supporting myself with my arm on her shoulders.
I turned around to see Watson and Glade struggling to get up, Glade from the crash and Watson from the drunk feeling i gave him. "Come on guys we don't have all day!"
I take a look at the three people, noticing one if them throwing a rock around and hiving it weird velocities. "Hey, I was right! They do have powers. Let's hope they know more."

The attack completely and utterly destroys the creature's knee, and the momentum throws him backwards. He goes flying, landing back first, shattering his spine in half, splitting his body in two. The light ultimately fizzles out from its body, and it becomes a dead corpse with a massive head injury, a shattered knee, and a destroyed spine.

|Glade|
|Street|

Gah that hurt...Why are these people so idiotic...then again I probably would've done the same. I get up as quickly as I can under the conditions. "So we're going over there huh? How do we know they're not like that rock dude? I think we should go up behind them, and Tyler you should suppress their powers. Everyone agree?"

 

[Nisteth]

|Esaias|

"Right, because it's a perfectly good idea to immediately assume that they're hostile. Look at them, I don't even think they have their powers quite down yet - I'm pretty sure that guy wouldn't be fooling around with a rock if he knew what he was doing, okay?" She sighs before readjusting her hood just slightly, almost like the tip of a hat, and walks over to the group of people.

"Alright, I'm going to ask right off the bat, do ANY of you have any idea what's been happening recently? We came here because there was a concrete guy that appeared to be chasing people, like the one that we just offed in the alley, and we figured that there must be more people with powers. And you guys definitely look like you have powers." Esaias gestures to the rock that's spinning around in midair.

Sarah focused on two different areas of a wall, thinking back to the shop and what she had felt there. Suddenly two portals appeared, rippling slightly. Passing her arm through one, she saw it come out the other and waved at herself, thinking about all the possibilities she could use these for. Shrugging she thought about how to close the damn thing. The one at the coffee shop had just vanished by itself, but she wasn't sure if that would be a common theme. Shrugging and looking around to see if anyone was there, she waved her hands and said "Close, please!",imagining it closing. With a small 'whomp' it closed, the wall looking the same as it did before.

Seeing the woman walk over, along with all of the others with her, James was glad that almost all of those he was told had finally come.
"Oh, good, you guys are here. I'd love to explain how I know you guys and all of that, but, well, that's a bit of a long story. Essentially, those guys that attacked you all, they're not gone, they're still going to be coming after all of us. Have you all developed your powers yet, or can some of you not control them?"

|Daniel|
|The bar|

Daniel was in a good mood, the day was clear, the birds were singing and there were plenty of women that were smiling back. Alas, he had business to take care of soon, so he turned slowly to the barkeeper, the sounds of his pants on the leather of the stool making an amusing squeak. His smile broadining he ordered another drink, just to get him ready for the long day ahead of him he explained.

When the drink did finally come back, he drank it in one go, letting out a satisfied sigh and wiping his face when he was done. He went to get his coat by the door, however he noticed something in the pocket. It was a black card that said in white lettering: "It is time". His smile becoming unnaturally large, Daniel started to giggle. "Oh today is going to be a wonderful day".

He strolled at the door, whistling a tune. It was finally time to have some fun.

He didn't notice yet, but his hands' flesh started turning into metal slowly. From the looks of it, it was an iron-based metal. He could feel his hands getting heavier and heavier and heavier with every step he took.

And suddely he was violently pulled forward, his arms being the first thing to be pulled, by an invisible force, towards a fish shop on top of the Old Docklands, which Daniel came crashing into.

"Well, I know that I can - at least to the degree of having basic function. I have the ability to accelerate stuff to really, really fast speeds. The redheaded girl can cause explosions with her kicks and punches. Tyler... he basically nullifies powers, but he's not too good at it yet. Watson can apparently redirect stuff with the same velocity that it entered at." She smirks and chuckles. "We're one weird set of a team, I can tell you that much. How about you guys?"

 

[xTordX]

Hearing Esaias' comment I got quite a bit of envy.
"You sure about that?" I just slapped you recently, i don't consider myself really THAT uncontrollable." I said with a slight smirk. "Do you guys need a place to practice your powers? I have an underground lab if that helps. And yeah, i can only practice my thing when we're fighting so this is pretty unconvinient..."
I backed away slightly, putting my hands in my pockets and leaning on a nearby sign pole.
