We Could Be Heroes - A Jump In Hero RP

(Thank you!! Today was nice. Didn't have a party or anything cause I just wanted to keep it chill, but I had cake and one of my favorite dinners, so it's perfect to me ^.^)

Masaki followed Pip to where she currently lived and was not surprised to find out that she lived in a warehouse. He had gathered that much from what little she had told him. What did surprise him was how many boxes inside there were. Masaki would stop every once in a while to look inside one and was even more surprised when he saw actual furniture shrunken down inside them. Even though he knew how Pip's power worked, it was still odd to see something like that. He didn't stay at any box for too long since he didn't want to lose track of Pip in this maze like area. When they finally got to the dollhouse, Masaki was once again shocked to learn that she lived inside it. He had expected a bed and maybe a dresser filled with clothes but for her to live inside a dollhouse did not even cross his mind. "Wait you actually live inside there?" He asked

(I'll post in the morning! Maybe have Alex detect the tracking device, if that's cool with you? Or maybe I could roll one of my dice again)

(Er...well technically I never specified which morning)

Alex recalled when he and Pip first met, back when he hadn't quite yet managed to shake the organization's programming off of him. Looking back, it was quite the strange encounter. When he scanned the dollhouse, he was amazed that it did in fact have water and electricity. But he had noticed something else, planted right next to the house's battery. "There appears to be a device transmitting a signal from the house. Is that normal?"

Outside the warehouse, a cloaked figure emerged from the shadows. His face and body were hidden from view by the cloak, which had a red disfigured skull inside a hexagon on the back. The figure's eyes pulsed red momentarily as he sent a scan throughout the warehouse.

Back inside, Alex winced as a wave of dull pain went through his head, his eyes pulsing red for a second before returning to their usual coloration.

(Figured I'd also finally introduce my villain, if that's alright ^^")

"What the-!?" Alex whipped to face the newcomer in the doorway. Before he could properly assess the situation, the cloaked figure landed behind him with a heavy thud and placed him in a headlock. Alex struggled to free himself from his mysterious attacker, his cybernetic strength seemingly not enough to pull himself free. He thrust himself backwards to slam his opponent into the wall, and followed up with an elbow to their ribs. The cloaked figure's grip loosened, allowing Alex to pull himself free. He turned and threw a punch at his attacker, but to his surprise, his metal fist was caught by one of their own, seemingly of similar design.

(I'll reply after Lioncl. ^^ The kinetic tether will force the Locksman to a stop, and he'll likely let go of it when Masaki makes his move. That will be the point at which he comes to the conclusion that these two won't let him go without a fight.)

(Meanwhile... Art of PIP below!)

(Whoa, that's so cool!!! )

gdi time flies sorry ive been stuck at my parents place for the past week helping with the puppies. Its almost been 6 weeks so they will be officially adopted soon. Im so sorry though)

Masaki was fully focused on the Locksman rather than the cyborg fight happening nearby. This guy was more of a threat right now plus he had Pip trapped inside a bunch of metal. Masaki shot flames out of his hands and had them block the doorway to stop the Locksman from walking out. "I'm not letting you just take her. I promised I would protect her and I'm gonna do just that" he said

By the time Alex pulled in the encased dollhouse which hit the ground with a loud clunk, his cybernetic assailant recovered and landed a strong kick on his back which likely could've destroyed a normal human's spine. Although many internal parts have been either replaced or reinforced, spine included, this didn't stop Alex from flying forward from the impact and landing hard on the cement floor. He quickly struggled back to his feet and dusted himself off before turning back to his opponent and raising his fists, leaving Masaki to deal with the Locksman.

The Locksman's armour clinked softly at Masaki's response, but there was no way to see his expression through his mask. He stood his ground as the massive wave of flames whooshed out to surround him in a whirling inferno. The air shivered with heat, but the Locksman seemed unaffected. So this was the path the young man chose. So be it. Some of the armour on his extended arm disengaged and shot forwards as sharp needle-like weapons, blasting through the flames towards the last seen point Masaki had stood. The Locksman lowered his arm and strode forwards, not even hesitating to walk through the flames. Nearly unnoticeable, his armour adjusted as he moved into the blaze, sealing briefly. As the Locksman stepped through, his eyes searched to lock onto Masaki's form. A couple of strips of metal had disengaged from his wrists and hovered near him. The moment he saw Masaki, he planned to launch into his attack. He knew little about the what the employer planned to do with the girl, but he was sure she would get whatever justice a criminal such as herself deserved. There could be no other truth than that. Anyone who stood in his way would be dealt with accordingly. Such was the life of a Bounty Hunter.

Ever since being trapped in her own house, the entire building quickly became dangerously quakeful! Pip clutched to the kitchen sink for dear life, dodging random furniture with squeaks of complaint and fury. With one final jerk, she lost her grip on the sink and with a yelp, she smacked into the ceiling and slammed back into the floor. Just as it had started, it stopped. Pip remained on the floor, not trusting it to be safe to move quite yet. At first all she could hear was the pounding of her heart and her own heavy breathing. It felt like she had just ran a marathon. After a few moments, her breathing began to calm and she started to hear the sounds of fighting outside. She pushed herself to her feet, grunting at her sore muscles. There was a frown on her face as she straightened and she clenched her fists in anger. Tch! Who would DARE try and trap HER and fight HER FRIENDS! Whoever it was was going to get the worst day of their life! NOBODY traps ME in a box! NOBODY forces ME to do ANYTHING! NOBODY messes with ME or MY FRIENDS! NOBODY! BECAUSE I DO ANYTHING I WANT!

Despite her vast intensity, Pip could not be heard from outside the dollhouse. 

(Ack, sorry I haven't replied yet...I've been feeling really sick these past few days >~< I'll try to post ASAP)

(Again, so sorry for taking so long! Idk if I've come down with something or what but I've just been feeling awful >.>)
(If you two want you can continue a little without me, since at the moment Alex is fighting with a separate character. Hopefully my head will be clear enough to get something up soon...)

(So a bit of an update; I still haven't posted because most of my attention has been focused on practicing my driving so I can work towards getting my license. Hopefully I'll get something done here soon >.<)
