Episode 2: The Wolf of New York

[Eagleye415]

Lavernius felt a dark urge pumping through his veins to kill the man and was shocked by it. He slowly realized where he was and slowly lowered the pitchfork amidst the Russian woman's pleads. LA heard the apology and snapped out of his state completely. He looked at the pitchfork in his hand and caught his reflection. His eyes were glowing red. What's happening to me? Lavernius was shaken up by his actions and flipped the pitchfork over in his hand. He stabbed it shakily into the ground and was only minorly surprised when it immediately cracked open for the pitchfork to descend.


Lavernius's hands were shaking as he saw the fear etched into the man's eyes. He flashed back to seeing the card for the first time the red caricature of the devil with his pitchfork. What is this? Am I connected to the Devil somehow? LA took one step back and then another. Then several more steps. Lavernius could see more people's faces twisted in fear looking at him. He didn't know what to feel right now. His mind was becoming fight or flight. LA looked over toward the Russian woman who's name he hadn't even learned yet.

Anastasiya took a deep sigh of relief as LA brought the pitchfork down, she loosened the grip on the whip allowing the owner to go free. Without looking back and not realizing Lavernius was stepping back and right as the owner of the hot dog stand was about to run away , she rotated her waist and struck the man on the side of the neck (specifically his carotid artery) with a hard hammer fisted strike. The force caused some muscle spasms as he fell unconscious to the ground. Anastasiya had not actually accepted the owners apology and wanted to simply to teach him a lesson, for his harmful words. She then looked behind herself and approached LA cautiously and lended out an accepting hand to him. "Come on we need to get out of here. Get a drink or something, just anything to get away from here... And don't worry, the man is only out cold, finally got what he deserved..."

"Alright sir, I'm off..."  Mark said as he put his black trench coat on.  "Take it easy Mark... keep warm..."  Jim said as he looked at the pin board trying to find connections with the victims.  "Take it easy sir... you should get some sleep..."  Mark said as he exited the room.


Jim was alone in the station now plucking the photographs off the pin board.  He looked at each other the victim's faces.  They were alive once... 


He scratched his head and took one last sip of his coffee.  "This is hopeless..."  He said as he walked out.


----------------------------------------------


Jim drove around with his car trying to get clues.  The Mangler case got him running around in circles. 


Loud shouting can be heard in the streets as LA and Anastasya confronted a hot dog stand owner.  The policeman was about to intervene when LA suddenly summoned a pitchfork out of thin air.  Jim's eyes opened wide.  The couple was about to leave when he ran behind them.


"Excuse me... Can I have a work with you two, please?"  He asked.


@The Omen of Death @Eagleye415


---------------------------------------------------------


Meanwhile... I Jim's apartment.  The sound of claws and heaving grumbling can be heard in the ceiling above Sunni.  Sounds of claws chipping walls can be heard throughout the apartment.  6 red eyes peered at Sunni from the window.

(NO WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME)


Sunni was still watching Youtube. She honestly didn't know why she still watched this thing- it was a huge waste of time and really wasn't all that funny and creative anymore. Anyhow, she was sort of just watching her videos at a quiet volume when she heard a strange clawing sound above her. Sunni sort of ignored that. That was probably the sound of birds making a nest or something. The girl was fine until the sound became the sound of claws chipping walls and grumbling. Sunni froze. Her heart pounded. She looked at the window. Glowing red eyes... 6 of them... stared straight at her. Sunni didn't scream. She didn't run. She just sat there in her loose shirt and loose shorts, staring at the window. The girl slowly started to find the phone app. She also started climbing out of bed. The sooner Sunni could call the police or Mr. Irons or whoever and get the fuck out of here the safer she would be.

Lavernius accepted Anastasyia's hand, but before they could go a man walked towards them. He was suspicious of the man and guided the Russian woman back a bit. LA had gotten over the fear on people's faces and was ready to trust this strange woman. Talk what could he possibly want to talk about?


"Talk? No. I don't think we should." Lavernius said casually, subtly putting space between them and the man. "Besides we were just taking our leave." Normally, he would play the situation out, but he wouldn't do that with someone else involved. Lavernius, of course, hadn't forgotten how the woman had dispatched of the hot dog owner and was slightly curious if this man might be seeking some kind of revenge. Although looking at him, he didn't seem the type. "How's about you leave a number and we'll be on our way."

The detective looked at the scaled above their heads... they both seem to have tilted their scales moderately.  They are not innocent, but they aren't villains either.  "You two... have black cards don't you?"  He said under his breath as he walked over to them.  "He flashed a black card from within his coat so that the two can see but the rest of the onlookers could not..."


"This is not the place to talk about this... I need your help... please we need to--"  Jim's cellphone began to ring the default at&t tone, interrupting him.  He flipped it open to hear Sunni from the other side.  "Hello?"


--------------------------------------


The creature grinned at Sunni from the window.  It's red eyes scanning the room.  In a blur it left the window.  Claws made soft scratching noises on the surface of the door. The doorbell rang repeatedly as if to taunt Sunni.

"Uhh... there's-"


Sunni froze. The thing was grinning. It was gone, and suddenly there was scratching on the door. The whole apartment was filled with the repetitive ding dongs of the doorbell.


"AHHH!" Sunni yelped. "Sorry sorry sorry... There's a creepy animal thing outside the apartment... I would call it a huge tarantula but doesn't look like one... It has like six eyes... I don't know what to do... It's really fast too."


The girl was breathing heavily. Her heart was on overdrive. Her hands sweat over the phone. Fight or Flight, the health teacher called it. Adrenaline was rushing in her blood, but instead of using to fight or run, she was just frozen to the ground. The constant door ringing, which would've been annoying, sent shivers down her spine.

 

[Kyon]

Music resounds off of the trees of a local park, a crowd of people circled around a young man as he strums several chords on his acoustic guitar. It comes so naturally to him, as if a god were whispering in his ear, telling him step by step what to do. Beside the young adult is an open guitar case, filled with the cash of the pedestrians that are enjoying his street performance. His eyes are closed and a soft smile lies on his face, his head nodding to the beat of the soft rhythm flowing out from his guitar. The public's eyes are wide with excitement as the not at all familiar song is played gently into their ears. It's an acoustic version of his favorite song by a popular Japanese song artist, Aya Hirano. His soft voice collaborates perfectly with the guitar. He finishes off the last lyrics of the heart-filled performance. "...as if you were god blessed."


With a closer look at the beautiful wooden guitar, one would notice a name signed with sharpie on the front: Nobuyuki Arata. That, of course, is the name of the talented young street performer, wishing to have his name known to all that listen to his music. Upon striking the final chords of the song on his guitar, Nobu opens his calm blue eyes with a smile and shows his gratitude. "Thanks everyone for listening!" he exclaims, the listening pedestrians cheering for him. Some of them are regulars, so they chant his name. This park is a common place for him to play his guitar. "I'm Nobuyuki Arata, and I'll be playing out here often. So keep listening!" With those last few words expressed to the pleased crowd, he closes his money-filled guitar case and swings the strap around his shoulder. After waving to the people that enjoyed his singing and playing of the acoustic he walks off to god knows where. Probably wherever the road takes him.


The night before his recent performance, Nobu found a peculiar black box sitting on his bed. He hadn't remembered bringing anything of the sort home with him that day nor in previous days, so he had no clue what could possibly be in it. That day and the days before it had been rough for him, too. Money was quickly becoming scarce as his performances weren't growing very popular. Seeing as he had nothing else to lose, he picked up the box to notice a silver logo on the top. How odd, he thought. He opened the box soon after noticing the logo and read a black sheet of paper. Things about unique qualities and gods and powers caught his attention. A cloth-wrapped card was the next item to be examined by Nobu. Upon further examination of the card, he sees a familiar instrument on it; it's a small harp looking instrument known as a lyre. In some sort of glyphic writing that Nobu mysteriously understands. It read, "Apollo". At that moment, a strange feeling was sent through Nobu's body, almost as if the power of some sort of god were flowing through his veins. And yet, it felt kind of good. Like a transformation of sorts.

"Shit shit shit..."  Jim put the pone far away as he cussed.  "The okay... I'll be right there..."  Jim looked at LA and Anastasya one last time.  "I think... we found the Mangler..."  He said as he turned around and ran for his car.  Worries about Sunni, adrenaline rushed all over his body.  "Hang on, kid..."  He said as he revved up the engine.  "Don't die on me..."


----------------------------------------------------------


The doorbells stopped.  There was silence.


Suddenly the door burst open and a shadowy creature entered the apartment.  It stood on two legs and it seems to be sniffing the air.  It's six glowing eyes are the only thing visible in the darkness.  "Come out... come out... wherever you are..."  It's beastly voice echoed in the room.  "Oh... I won't hurt you dear... just give me your card... and the big, bad wolf will go back to the forest.."  The thing growled and got on all fours... searching the small apartment.

 

[doneanddusted]

The girl hung up. The door burst open. Sunni would've screeched if she hadnt covered her mouth. She quietly locked the door to the room (whatever help that would do) and listened quietly as the thing spoke in quite the intimidating voice. Sunni just had to give her card and he would go away? Sunni racked her brain. Where did she put it? The girl was blanking. 


I'm gonna die aren't I? I'm gonna die. 


Sunni looked out the window. Perhaps she could jump off... But she's probably get hurt from the fall and get caught by the creature. 


What do I do?


She thought nervously, staring at the door that the creature would most like burst open.

Anastasiya was glad they could finally get out, she was stressed out from that whole transpiring of events, and getting out of there probably would have been best, or so she thought... She was about to lead him back to her bike which was still on the ground surprisingly. Anastasiya glared back towards Jim with an irritated look on her face, she really did not want to go through more crap. "Yeah, if you want to talk can't you do it later?" Then she watched on as Jim pulled out his black card she could see its symbol and see the name in cryptic letters read out as Anubis. She raised an eyebrow at her ability to read it as well as the fact that Jim would reveal it to them. She said "So you got the card for Anubis? Huh I woulda thought for a group known as Olympus they would have stuck to the Greek stuff." She added with slight sarcasm. "So what's so important that you need to ta-" she was then interrupted as he got a call which let her roll her eyes of hers and sighed. Then listening, her interest was piqued when he began muttering curses to himself. The seal that closed the deal on her interest was when he revealed that it had something to do with the Mangler. A case she had been after just as if not more than vigilantly then the police at times, it was quite the horrific string of murders that she planned to have avenged in blood. Her eyes widened as she heard this revelation, and she found a newfound vigor to now make it her priority. Realizing she didn't holster her whip after letting the owner go, just to then knock unconscious, she holstered it. As Jim went to his truck to get going, Anastasiya jumped on the opportunity to get her chance to bring retribution on the Mangler for every atrocity he caused on those victims. She then stated approaching Jim in his car, "You need to let me follow you, I need to help avenge those victims for all these fucking atrocities this piece of shit of a person has committed. I don't want you to lose anyone close to you, and have another body bag added to an already long list of unfortunate victims."

"Nowhere for you to hide little piggy... The wolf is inside your house of bricks!"  The Mangler's voice is crazed and distorted... As if many animal voices were mashed together.  The dark figure sniffed the air and disappeared.  "Are you over here?!"  The fiend appeared and looked underneath the sofa.  "Hehehe you can't hide forever... Come on out... Show me what your little card can do!"  The beast said as it ran to the kitchen. "What's... For dinner!?"  It said as it opened the pantry.  It let out a half-growl half-chuckle as it glanced at the bedroom door.  "I guess you're not here after all... It's a shame you keep hiding like this... You know your parents wouldn't have died if you just stayed at home and use your powers to protect them... Hehehe now they're nothing more than slashed up meat..."  The Mangler growled.  It started to walk towards the bedroom door.


---------------------------


Jim let out a surprised smile when he saw Anastasiya approach him. He could tell that she would make a great ally against the Mangler.  "Thanks for your help... Follow me!"


Jim turned the headlights on and accelerated back to his apartment.  (Here I assume that you guys will take the motorcycle). 


Jim reached his apartment and parked his car abruptly on a red zone.  "Crap..."  He noticed that he forgot to wear his seatbelt.  He took out his pistol and ran to his apartment.  don't die kid, please... when he got to the door a cold chill went up his spine... When he saw the door busted open.  "Sonova..." He cursed as he rushed sneakily inside

Nobu continues walking down the road, his mood high and bright. It was as if his newfound powers had given him hope, not that he would've given up on his career anyway. As he walks with a hop in his step, a car speeds by and parks in the red zone across the street from him. Jesus! What a maniac! he thinks to himself, not aware of the current situation with the Mangler. He watches as the man runs into a house with a broken door. He notices the pistol in his hand and gets suspicious. Wait wait wait. Is that a gun!? Am I witnessing a break in!? He jumps from one conclusion to another. He wants to call the police department, but he decides instead to watch and wait to see how this whole "break in" goes down. After all, there were some pieces that don't quite connect yet. Should I yell at him? Nah... I'll just stand here and watch. He sets down his guitar and sits down, watching as the events unfold before him.

As the thing kept speaking in its hideous voice, the girl continued staying glued to one spot. Sunni now seriously considered jumping out the window. She could hear the thing getting painfully closer, so painfully close that Sunni felt that the fear would kill her before the monster could. She didn't want to get eaten. At the same time, Mr. Irons told her not to give away the card. The monster mentioned her parents. Sunni blinked, realizing that what it said was probably true.


But I don't have powers....

The door burst open to the main room.  "GOTCHA, LITTLE PIGGY!"  The beast roared as it leapt to Sunni.


"FREEZE NYPD!"  Jim fired and missed the beast.  The beast merged with the darkness and could barely be seen.  Jim looked at Sunni as he moved slowly to the light switch.  "It's going to be okay kid, I got you..."  He pointed the gun at the shadowy mass.


"For a moment there I thought I was done for... but it's just you..."  He beast growled and laughed.  "Sorry girl...  the huntsman won't save you this time!"  The wolf let out a roar and pounced at Jim.  Jim dodged and pointed his palms at the beast. "Bandages!"  He summoned the bandages from the floor that immediately wrapped around the beast.  The beast let out a hysteric laugh.


"Run Sunni!  Save yourself!"  Jim said as he summoned more and more bandages that wrapped around the beast.  He tried to see the creature's scales... but they simply did not appear.  


"Hehehehe... annoying pest..."  The beast growled and all six of its eyes glew crimson.  IT BROKE FREE FROM THE RESTRAINTS!


"Your card has no effect on me..."  The Mangler got on all fours and flashed its teeth at Jim in a toothy grin.


Run, kid... I'm just a no good cop... let me redeem myself here. Jim tried to have his bandages wrap around the beast once more... but they simply refuse to hold it.

Sunni yelped and backed up against the wall. She was scared, heavy breathing, heart racing, etc etc. The gunshot scared her even more, not only because it was loud but also because Sunni thought the bullet would hit her. She saw Jim and looked at him with terrified eyes, her mind still trying to comprehend what was going on. The beast looked like some werewolf thing, which was the simplest way Sunni could describe it. She watched as the animal jumped at Jim, who somehow made bandages wrap around the thing. The creature broke free. Sunni didn't hear any words. All she could see was the Mangler's six glowing crimson eyes, its dangerous teeth, and its maniacal grin. Sunni tried to move. She was rooted. The girl wanted to run, or fight, or, even better, wake up back at home to know that these chimerical events were all but a nightmare. Sunni looked back at Jim, extremely scared and extremely unwilling for odd reasons to go anywhere or do anything.


(when should I make Sunni fight?)

 

[The Omen of Death]

Anastasiya surprisingly almost gleefully, took this as the opportunity to rush over to her bike. She called out to LA, "If you want to come along you are welcome too, but I would advise caution." She ran back to her bike which was still on the ground, she sighed slightly overlooking it's condition again. She brought it up and put on her bike helmet starting the engine, she said (in case LA is coming) "Hop in behind me," the bike did have a platform for a 2nd person it just was not the sissy seat kind. "Just sit down and hold on to me tight below the soft big squishy stuff. Don't crush me though Russians don't look good when crushed." Obviously joking a bit about her breasts and throwing in some dark humor. And she revved the engine and began to follow Jim's truck there. Once she made it she parked next to his truck, and she could also by now feel a certain feeling, and could hear whispers again, but it was of many. The many victims of the Mangler... All together as one calling for vengeance... As a result she began to feel an empowerment by all of if... It was like when she felt the card, except not to giving godly powers. And so also unconsciously it seemed the world blurred for a moment, and Anastasiya seemed slightly translucent to herself. As she took off her helmet putting the kickstand up she brought out her whip, and went to try something. As she approached the apartment, she stuck her hand out and she it went through as if it were empty space. Being more daring she walked forward and seemingly walked into the wall. Slightly surprised for a brief moment she then devised her plan. As she heard the deep voice, she rushed using the walls to reach the room of the epicenter and noted she was moving faster then she had before. Then she saw the scene as Jim entered and she saw... The Mangler and Sunni.... Her eyes widening, she shrugged this off now and prepared to ambush the Mangler, she was going to use the wall to do so. As she waited for the right moment. She saw as it got into the position. Her strategy here was to target the Manglers joints and effectively cut off his ability to move and strike before finally finishing it off. So as he went into the right place, still behind the wall she finally prepared her whip, and then swung it from the wall, which gave the appearance that it came from out of nowhere. With the distinct cracking of the whip breaking the sound barrier, she also noted her hand and striking power was increased. The whip was coming for one of the Mangler's joints at extremely fast speeds.

Anastasiya surprisingly almost gleefully, took this as the opportunity to rush over to her bike. She called out to LA, "If you want to come along you are welcome too, but I would advise caution." She ran back to her bike which was still on the ground, she sighed slightly overlooking it's condition again. She brought it up and put on her bike helmet starting the engine, she said (in case LA is coming) "Hop in behind me," the bike did have a platform for a 2nd person it just was not the sissy seat kind. "Just sit down and hold on to me tight below the soft big squishy stuff. Don't crush me though Russians don't look good when crushed."

Jim believed at that moment that he was going to be another victim of the Mangler.  His Anubis card wasn't working and seemed to have no effect of the Mangler.  How does he stop my attacks?


The Mangler's shadow engulfed Jim as it leaped above him for a strike.


Suddenly the sound of a whip cracking echoed in the house.  A black blur rushed to target the mangler's knee cap.  However, as if the Mangler can move in mid air... it spun and deflected the attack with it's arm.


The whip blows the arm clean off...  Causing the beast to howl with anger.


Instead of bleeding, the stump where the arm once was was simply letting out steam.  "Arrogant bitch..."  The beast cursed as it got on all three of it's limbs.  The arm that was snapped off was thrown under the bed... it didn't bleed. but simply emanated smoke.


The beast grinned showing its sharp teeth.  "An ambush... very nice..."  It stood on it's hind legs.  "HAHAHA!  Damn... I almost had two birds with one stone..."  The beast laughed.  The stump on it's shoulder continued to release steam.

Jennifer sighed, continuing to walk. She felt quite exhausted and the worst part is she had no reason why. She supposed that it was because of all the running around she'd done earlier when chasing that kid around, which had proved to be a huge waste of time, and because of what happened with that guy that'd tried to mug her, but, she really wasn't quite sure, which just really bugged her. She immediately ceased this train of thought however when she noticed a man sitting down, staring at an apartment which had a door that seemed to be busted open. This piqued her curiosity more than a little bit. She immediately jumped to the conclusion that someone had broken into that apartment, since the door was, you know, busted open, and decided to investigate, slowly approaching the busted down door without much regard for personal safety.


(For some reason when I posted this it posted blank originally. Not sure what happened there. :/ )

Lavernius was caught up in the rush and hopped on the bike. He smirked at the Russian woman's words and slipped his arms around her waist. "Don't worry I won't crush you."  They soon arrived at the apartment of the officer and came to a stop. LA was disoriented from never having rode a bike and took a moment to catch up. He rebalanced himself and charged into the apartment. Lavernius stomped up the stairs and burst through the door rather dramatically. He darted inside and wasted no time going for a jump kick. Because, caution to the wind right?

The girl really thought Mr. Irons would die. She really thought the Mangler would get to him, and that Sunni would die, too. But then  suddenly the animal lacked an arm. Howling filled the air... Sunni looked as the arm was thrown under the bed. She then looked back at the Mangler... And saw a tall man going in for a jump kick. The girl looked at the animal, wondering if maybe now that there were three (Sunni was far too scared to fight, and she really didn't know what a girl could do against a huge-ass monster thing) people against him, that he would be defeated.

Jennifer was standing right outside the broken down apartment door, standing just to the right of it so as to avoid being seen by anyone inside and she nearly jumped at the sound of what seemed like loud howling. It was at this point she realized that maybe trying to see what was going on inside there was a bad idea, so she decided to just ambush the next person to come out of the apartment. "But, how am I going to κρύβω m-" She stopped mid sentence, wondering what the hell she'd just said. That definitely wasn't english, or spanish, or any language she'd personally heard or even attempted to speak for that matter. She felt very strange after saying it too. Something was off, but she couldn't quite tell what. At first she was a bit scared that she'd accidentally triggered that weird burst of energy thing she'd done earlier, since she was feeling incredibly strange, but, it didn't quite feel the same as what happened last time she'd done it. She looked down at her hand to make sure it wasn't on fire or anything, since she had absolutely no idea what kind of powers she had and was worried that she may have triggered something destructive like last time, only to find it missing. "...What the hell?..." She mutters to herself. She could still feel it, it was still there, but, she couldn't see it. In fact, she couldn't see herself at all! This probably should have been terrifying, or at the very least at least slightly worrying, but, she was just glad that something bad hadn't happened at this point.  Either way, she stopped focusing on herself, and knelt down to the side of the broken down doorway. Her plan was to jump at whatever came out of the apartment first and tackle it to the ground. After all, if this was some sort of break in, she may end up just having stopped a criminal by doing so. Or, well, it could just have been a misunderstanding on her part, and she could have just tackled some innocent person for no real reason, but she didn't want to think of that as a possibility. That would just be embarrassing.

LA aimed a kick at the creature but it pounced quickly to the shadows, avoiding the attack.


"It reeks in here... reeks of the stench of gods..."  The creature let out a hoarse chuckle.  "Well girl, consider yourself lucky... you will be the first and last survivor... but not for long!"  The creature lunged at Sunni.  


"Get away from her!"  Jim ran in between the huge creature and the little girl.  


"Heh..."  The creature smacked Jim away with great force into a wall.  Causing him to black out.  He paused, looking at the girl and LA.  "It stinks too much..."  It said before dashing to the window and breaking it with the full force of it's body.  It started to dash away from the apartment with great speeds... dashing through rooftops on all three limbs.


Jim lay unconscious in the corner.

Lavernius slammed into the wall and grunted as he hit the floor. He froze as he heard the creature's voice and quickly flipped himself over. LA tried to get up, but his sore shin prevented him from doing so. He watched as the man quickly guarded the girl in shock and was horrified when he was thrown into the wall. Lavernius forced himself up and dashed over to the man. The Mangler crashed through the window and LA was left on his knees next to the man. 


"Oh shit. Come on man." LA said trying to shake the guy awake. "We need to get an ambulance here." He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. Gonna need a little luck here. Lavernius didn't notice his eyes turned crimson red as he dialed the number.

Anastasiya watched as the scene unfolded, as it seems the Mangler in midair attempted to stop her whip, though as it seemed the whip actually came down with enough force to take off its arm. Her eyes widened as she took note of it, however she was empowered really drastically improved her power as she took off its arm. Then bringing the whip back she heard the mangler speak. To which she simply retorted with. "Oh, I am sorry. But it seems no matter how many eyes you have, you must still be blind. If not, you could very simply know I am just a woman here to bring retribution for all those victims. To put an end to pieces of shit like you, who are arrogant enough to think you are above others. Because Nemesis will put you down like all those men and women, because you are a diseased animal and for that. Your punishment is death." Slowly she began to navigate the walls to hit his other side. But before that could happen, the Mangler struck Jim and knocked him unconscious. And then he darted out the window. Almost instinctively with adrenaline and her empowerment pumping through her veins, she with a burst of inhuman speed which she was also surprised with. She jumped through the walls with her whip in hand in pursuit of the Mangler on the roof. She graciously landed on the next roof, and kept her momentum going. Gaining on the Mangler from the side, she gave her iciest glare to date as her gunmetal blue eyes shot daggers straight into the Mangler's eyes. All the while whipping the whip around at her side to disorient and confuse the Mangler as well as provide defense if he attempted anything.
