Fizzing Fuse (Nornir, Zarakc, Pika!)

During the last few months, a rash of murders and savage beatings has taken place around Midtown and into suburban Jump as rumors of a fight club has spread through the streets of the fair city, and evidence has arisen of a sinister power at work. Something bad is brewing beneath the streets, and the raucous cries of men and women fighting like animals fills the air each night.

Flux was out tonight. She'd been on the trail of this bubbling shadow a couple days now, and just because she was approaching the end of spring break was no excuse not to have and defy her curfew to seek this cesspit of violence and addiction and expose it. But after the third day on patrol, of seeking, she was turning out her pockets, empty of evidence. Oh, she found bodies... But they were... Horrible, scrubbed of evidence, apparently by steel wool.

All she needed... Was to catch some thugs in the act. That was all - she just had to see them do... something and she might have a trail to go down a last... So she patrolled at night. Rooftop to rooftop, gutter to gutter, she plodded on with her hands in her hoodie's pockets in the rain.

A car passed her, maybe speeding a bit. She looked up at it, but it rounded a corner with screeching tires. No cops were chasing it, and it didn't look suspicious to her... So she plodded on.

---

A four door sedan pulled up to the riverside, just ahead of the car bridge that went from the north side of town to the south side, and a couple red-faced, unhealthy looking older teenagers got out on the passenger side. The front passenger moved round the back door, and helped the other man with something inside. There was the sound of a scuffle in the dark, and the two men both brought their fists down several times on something inside, with sounds like shovels hitting wet concrete.

Then... They dragged a youth out of the back seat, no older than fifteen, who looked much the worse for wear, beaten bloody and completely insensible in their uncaring hands as they drug him out, and towards the river.

Wow, this had to be his lucky day, from the shadows, Kane saw a bunch of thugs dragging a boy to the river. He had been searching for three days and he had found no solid evidence, but here he was, looking at a bunch of guys with a beat up teenager.

He had no proof that they were connected though, that was the only downside, but he had caught them committing a crime so he could as them about it after he beat them up. He needed something witty to say, but nothing came to him Hey you! Drop the kid!

They looked at him in disbelief and then laughed at him, they had tears in their eyes when they reached for their guns and when they blinked them out Kane was gone. They had no time to register their surprise however as Kane aimed to kicks at them from behind.

It was rare for Vali to be out in the evenings. Usually she spent that time quietly resting in her room. But this was one of those rare nights when she felt like taking a moonlit stroll. It was a route she had taken before. It went around most of downtown while staying away from the streets that were busy even all throughout the night. She was crossing the bridge over the river when she noticed the scene on the riverbank on the other side. It was dark and she could not clearly make out their faces, but it was quite clear something was amiss when she saw the group dragging out another person from a car and treating him carelessly.

She quickened the pace of her walk, still unsure of how she should respond. After all, there was a chance she was misunderstanding the situation. It was also quite dark out. But she readied herself to spring into action at a moment's notice. At the first sign of anything obviously bad happening, she could get there in a second using her great strength. Her doubts were soon answered though. A third party had emerged from the shadows, ordering the group to drop the kid. The group responded by pulling out guns. That was not good.

As the newcomer kicked the thugs from behind, she approached calmly but quickly. Her fatigue aura was in full effect. They had not noticed her yet thanks to the distraction by the kicking man. In ten seconds, the men with guns would find themselves out cold unless they got out of there real fast.
