Intruder Alert! (Open)

Please refrain from posting until Apache and myself are positioned inside the tower and have raised the alarm

The duo appeared in front of the tower. It had been rebuilt with it's structure slightly different then before. This meant he couldn't teleport in there just yet as he never saw it before, but it had plenty of windows so plenty of options to get inside. The common room was his aim and he knew exactly were it was thanks to his old tower. Krious glanced at his companion. Some people couldn't cope with his method of travel, sometimes even going as far as fainting. Apache looked ok however, although just a little surprised. He raised his hand in the air and pointed towards a large window upwards in the tower.

"There.. We need to get up there, then I'll get us in. I'd teleport, but I can't fly. Would you do the honours?"

He had seen the roped arrows which Apache used to travel around the city and alike. It could probably get the two of them up there, and if not they had other options. Let's see who these Titans are and how they handle the job...

The wolf seemed to be more trustful then their last meeting and agreed to his master's wish. Apache shot upwards along the rope, just like he had seen before. As long as you want to climb this rope... Krious grabbed the rope firmly and looked up at Apache, who already positioned himself in front of the common room. I want to climb this rope. He thought to himself and started climbing. The climbing went incredibly smooth, as if something pushed him up from below. it didn't take long to get up to Apache's height and the wolf seemed to know he wanted to stop there.

"Alright.. here comes another one. Once we're inside the alarm will probably raise so be ready."

Krious placed his hand on Apache's shoulder and gathered enough energy for another teleport. This was it. Once they got inside the whole team would be on full alert. That's what they wanted, but you never know how they would react. The dark substance enveloped the two of them once more and they soon found themselves in the middle of the common room. It looked a lot different then the common room he rememberd of the Titan North tower. The only thing left was to wait on the inhabitants.

As soon as the intruders were in the room, the scanner sounded the alarm, labeling them as uninvited guests. An alarm loud enough that it would have broken the glass windows if they hadn't been inforced filled the tower. Titanium Alloy covered all the windows, and a cage fell out of its hiding place onto the floor, surrounding the two. It was made of a substance that took the energy from someone's power and bounces it back, making them powerless. Like that wasn't enough, four DNA-motion sensored plasma guns popped out of the ceiling and aimed at the cage. The siren still rang in the background.


Rain came rushing out of her room, the sirens blasting in her ears. Ugh, instant headache! She ran to the Common Room, expecting her team to be behind her any second. No one could ignore that sound. After what seemed like forever, she made it to the source of all the noise. Two men stood in the cage. One of them an indian type, and the other a 20-year-old man.

"Wow, way to make an entrance you two."

She said this as she went over to the wall and pressed a button. With one last blast the alarm shut off, and the cage and guns went away. Light streamed through the now unbloxked windows.

The alarm was loud and the cage that fell on them just now seemed to drain his powers. He still had his swords but he wasn't so sure they would penetrate the steel. The guns aiming for them weren't exactly reassuring either.

Apache's spirit creatures each had a mind of their own. The Wolf had need for a snack and took the liberty to get one, the Hawk seemed more of his type though. Apache continued to soothe his spirit Hawk and the Wolf acted as if he was home already. The cage had been lifted and they were free to move around once again. Krious didn't expect the defenses to be so different then the ones they had in their tower, but was pleasantly surprised when Rain entered the room. She was a titan and they were probably lucky that she knew them. Wait.. Apache knew her too?

"That Wolf there seems a bit too happy. I agree though, but is this how you always greet your visitors? I thought you said I was welcome here." He smiled. Offcourse he approved of the system, they didn't exactly come knocking at the door.

Rain smiled as she walked over and pulled a chunk of red meet out of the freezer. She looked at it, wondering on whether Wolf would like the bone, or meat. She ended up giving him both.

"When people knock, they're more than welcome to come in. The house isn't so found of breaking-and-entering though."

She wiped her hands on a towl and came over to Apache. Her eyes drifted to his shoulder.

"Sorry about the guns, Hawk. Think you can forgive me, and the house?"

Her eyes showed the sincerety behind the apology. It really wasn't meant to scare the poor thing.

The tower passed the test. The team however didn't make an appearance. Only Rain seemed to pay attention to the rather loud alarm that went off in the tower. Could be that they were out, or simply got notified on an all green.

"Yes, sorry about the intrusion. I just wanted to see how the tower and your team would react to this kind of emergency. It looks better protected then what I remember."

Well they got here to inform them of Apache's vision, better get started right away. It might be best if the entire team was present, although he could do with only one of them. Both groups could benefit greatly from each other and could use help with protecting Jump. Why not form an alliance of some sort so both could benefit. His tone shifted to a more serious one.

"We bring dire news, but first proper introductions are in order. We might need your entire team here, but if you can't make that happen you'll have to pass it on later."

Krious looked at Apache, hoping he would start with the introduction.

Rain scrunched her forhead. Her team, where were they? She raised her index finger, signaling to wait. Walking to the corner where the hall started, Rain pressed a button.

"Titans, you all are needed in the Common Room, front and center, now.

Rain's voice rung loud and clear over the speaker system through out the tower. Hopefully they would come soon.

She walked back to the two, checking over her shoulder the whole time to see if the rest of the team was coming.

"They might be out..."

...or just being pains.

There was a click, and Zack walked out. He had been standing just around the corner, his Glock trained on the intruders. Normally loud and rambunctious, Zack hadn't earned his nickname of Silent Night for no reason. He had almost blown his cover when he saw the wolf digging in what he considered his fridge, but he had just gritted his teeth and stayed. He was wearing only boxers and an open brown leather jacket. The dark circles under his eyes suggested he hadn't slept in a while. In fact, he hadn't slept since he had shot the ceiling in his sleep. He placed his Glock on the back of his waistband, where it stayed without any visible support, and pulled out a vicious looking combat knife as a clear threat should these "guests" prove to be liers. His Famas was across his back, hanging without support. "I will say this once, and once only. Get. The. Dog. Out. Of. My. Food."

Rain spun around and glared at Zack. Her gaze softened a little when she saw him. The dark circles made his look like a half dead crazed man.

"Zack, sit on the couch, and leave Wolf alone."

Jay flew over the tower the air currents brushing her feathers into place as she stretched out her wings to hold herself in the sky. She had decided to go out and take a night flight and was just returning when she cocked her head to the side. Where those the alarms?
She looked down at the tower flapping her wings to quicken her flight, she was positive of it now. That sound was the alarms. She rose a bit into the air and then tilted herself down towards the roof of the tower into a steep dive and pulled her wings in to make it faster. When the roof was close enough she pulled her wings out like a parachute and shot her legs out to land and instantly broke into a run to the common room.

When she got there she saw that Rain and Zack where already there and two other people where with them. Jay figured that this was what the alarm was about but seeing how neither of her team mates where fighting them and the alarm had been turned off that she had gotten there a bit late.

A low growl issued from Zack's throat, an obvious challenge towards the wolf, and for a moment it looked like he was about to tackle it, but after a tense pause he nodded and sat on the couch which sagged visibly under his weight, refusing to take his eyes off of the creature stealing his food. As he glared at the wolf, he toyed with his dagger, spinning it between his fingers.

''If you find that a dog, then the black rings around your eyes are thicker then I thought. The wolf is least of your problems, if we can enter this Tower so easily, then there's no point worrying about food that can be replaced.''

Apache looked intently at Wolf, and clicked his tongue. Wolf disappeared in a gleam of light blue, before turning invisible again. Only Apache would see him and his Hawk now.

''My aminal companions are neither scared by weapons when they are visible, nor when they are invisible. Get that shaving tool out of the way, if you mean to threathen me and my partner here you fact the wrong men. Him for sure. If any of you did some searching you'd know who he is, and if you want to see how your butter knife measures up against what faces you now, go ahead and try.''

Apache wouldn't stand for anyone threathening his animals. Threathening his animals was like threathening him, and while the knife did an attempt at both, he wouldn't go talking without making sure nobody was going to get any wise ideas. Just to be sure, his real bow was on his back, but he prepared to strike with his other bow would any new Titan member become a nuisance.

He didn't count a complete team present, but this would have to do. Each time a new member showed his or her face he welcomed them with a minor nod of his head.

"Calm down. There are more important things in the world then trading threats."

There was no sense in arguing about trivial things. Krious knew that to some these might not be as trivial as they were to him but nonetheless he expected them to just soak it up for now. His hand reached for his pocket and he pulled out an object. He firmly closed his hand around it and brought it up into everyone's view. His grip loosened and the object fell down, only to be held up by a small cord around to his wrist. The object in question was an older model of the Titan Communicator, one coloured in black and blue.

"I am known as Stasis but you may call me by my real name Krious. Yes.. I am a former Titan, leader of the North team to be precise. Me and my friend here are part of a new team in town and intended to do the job the Titans weren't able too anymore. Seeing as there are now two new Titan teams in town one might argue on what we're going to do next but that's not what I'm here for..."

He put the communicator back into his pocket and began to focus more on his companion.

"... You all probably noticed a guy named Emblem is in town and that he's not exactly being nice either. I've battled with him before but it seems I cannot handle this on my own. The situation has only got more dire I'm afraid."

The most recent battle with Emblem almost cost him his life. he didn't mention his connection to Emblem just yet, first he wanted to take care of the vision. Krious raised his arm towards Apache and nodded his head as if he was telling him to go ahead.

"This is Apache, a teammate of mine. The spirits granted him a disturbing vision that we wish to share with you."
