| The sun shone bright and hot down upon the people of Jump city peacefully enjoying their day. Unfortunately that peaceful day wouldn't last, and one man knew it more than anyone else. From the shadow of a dense cluster of trees nearby a man strode forth. His footsteps were silent and at first no one noticed him as they were too absorbed in their own activities. But like a stone dropped into a pool of water, ripples of quiet awe and terror spread forth as more and more happened to look upon him. His eerie, rictus ear to ear grin, the assault rifle on his back, his tattered and bloodstained jeans and hole riddled, torn, and equally bloody shirt beneath his brown leather jacket. The wicked looking combat knife on the back of his belt. The Glock 17 in his right hand. He strode onward, heedless of the screams and shouts growing around him, hazel eyes burning into one man in particular - the hot dog vendor.
Once he got within twenty feet of the man, he raised the pistol just as the stereotypically sweaty, hairy, and somewhat overweight man looked up, his eyes widening in what all around likely believed to be surprise and terror. Zack knew what it really was as he squeezed the trigger, and the hot dog seller's left kneecap exploded in a puff of crimson. Instantly chaos erupted as civillians fled the scene, rapidly leaving the madman standing before the grungy vendor in a nearly empty park.
"Where is it?" Zack asked, his voice high pitched and borderline hysterical, like a man losing a battle with his own laughter. Before the other could answer, he screamed in pain as Zack dug a boot heel into his wound. "We both know just who you really are, so why don't you save the sob story?" Zack stepped off of the manĀ and squatted down, leaning in so his face was inches away from the vendor's. "You know exactly why I'm here." | |

| So this man thought he could just ruin the peace on a delightful day such as this? He was deadly mistaken. One man had not fled the scene as the others did, screaming in fear. Instead, the man looked at the blood covered terrifying man, watching his movements, until the man shot the hot dog vendor in the knee. Jeez, what did he have against this guy?
The man narrowed his eye to give a nasty look, now he had done it. He walked forward, a slight breeze rustling his blonde hair, his blue eyes glared at the man with the gun. When he was in range, he would suddenly leap forward and his fist would fly at the side of the mans face with enough force to send him off his feet if he was hit. If the punch connected, Metamorphi would speak I do know why you're here, you're here to get your ass kicked! | |

| As Zack rocked back and forth on his heels waiting for an answer, he heard approaching footsteps. How odd... he thought to himself. I didn't think the police would be here in time. Or maybe this one has backup I didn't see... It was evident that the vendor heard the approaching hero as well as he clamped his mouth shut. "Don't go anywhere." Zack let out a small giggle at his joke before turning to look at the newcomer - just in time to have his vision filled by a fist. Zack was quick witted and fast, a slippery opponent by all rights, but even he could be caught off guard at times, and he had grown rather accustomed to either the police identifying themselves and shouting "freeze" or the heroes of this city spouting off some self righteous line. Even the villains he had come across seemed full of themselves to the point of monologuing every chance they could.
As it was, Zack took the blow between the eyes, at the bridge of his nose. A painful sounding crunch filled the air though for the moment it was unclear if it came from Zack's nose - being an area where his armor wasn't as protective, or if it came from Metas hand as bone collided with the super dense metal beneath Zack's flesh. Where most would be thrown from their feet - especially given the precarious pose Zack ha been in, the madman was merely knocked on his butt, his grin widening as his teeth reddened in the flow of blood now dripping from his left nostril. "Oh I am, am I? It seems you're aim is a little off then, as is your concept of a kick." He laughed hysterically at his own joke as he swung his leg upward in a vicious kick - while it was intended (and in fact used) to give him the momentum to roll backwards and onto his feet, it would certainly hurt if it happened to connect. "Shall we try again?" His eyes widened with glee. Perhaps today was his lucky day. | |

| Metamorphi felt his fist connect with the mans face, but it hurt, a lot. He knocked the man onto the floor, but other than his bleeding nose he didn't seem too bothered by it. As it was all he had done was make the area under his nose match his clothes. If Metamorphi was at all amused by Zack's joke, he did not show it, he saw a kick some and stepped back, but from the looks of things the purpose was just to get too his feet, hurting Metamorphi would have just been a nice bonus.
Metamorphi shook his fist, although he had made Zack bleed, it had hurt quite a lot, for a second he allowed himself to look at his bruised knuckles, but then he turned his attention back to his foe. He stared him down for a few seconds, then suddenly jumped at him and swung for his face, but then he would miss on purpose and use the momentum to send him spinning and attempt to sweep Zack's legs out from under him. | |

| Zack was in his element - an opponent who threw attack after attack in close combat? His favorite kind. His mind blazed through ideas as Meta attacked again. He turned his body to the side and leaned his head back to dodge Meta's blow, but then his eyes narrowed as the blow missed by what felt like a mile. It was a feint - Zack himself had used such a tactic countless times. Then what was the goal? He had likely deduced that Zack was made of sterner stuff than mere flesh and bone, and would likely target somewhere vulnerable in an attempt to keep him off balance and therefore less likely to be able to mount a counter attack. The answer came to Zack just as Meta finished his spin: a hack at his legs. Fine have it your way, he thought, Lets just hope you can handle your own medicine.
Meta's kick connected with a resounding thud, once again smashing bone against metal. Thanks to the way Zack had dodged the feint, he was sent off balance. Rather than try to stay on his feet in any way however, he let gravity do its work, his arm swinging out to catch Meta by the back of the neck as he fell backwards - his goal to bring his opponent smashing into the concrete sidewalk beneath them just before he himself hit the ground, allowing more of his nearly 1300 lbs of weight to factor in to the blow, though not all of it would factor in regardless.
Ever the opportunist, Zack was prepared for failure, ready to roll away from Meta and back to his feet in the event that Meta was either far quicker than he had imagined and avoided the unorthodox counterattack or proved to be sturdy enough to mount another attack. | |

| Metamorphi grunted as his kick was successful, but now his leg was in pain, his opponent had toppled to the ground however, and that was good. He felt a hand grab the back of his neck, and saw that Zack was trying to take him down to the ground with him. This looked like it was going to hurt, Meta fell to the ground and his face smashed against the concrete floor so hard that the floor was cracked.
Metamorphi, however, did not seem hurt at all, nor did he show any kind of pain. His face, as well as the rest of his head and the rest of his body, had undergone a transformation. His face was a shiny grey colour, like metal and his arms were the same grey colour, on closer inspection, his body appeared to be made of steel.
Metamorphi rolled to his feet and turned his body white, like paper, and ran towards Zack, with his lighter form he moved at accelerated speed and swung his fist. At the last second, when it would be too late for the change in weight to affect the speed of the punch, he converted his body back to steel so that it would have maximum hardness at maximum speed. | |

| As Zack rolled back to his feet with lithe grace that belied his durability, his grin widened: He had thought this fight over, and was delighted to see that it was not. As Meta rose, his flesh now steel, Zack couldn't help but make the joke: "Ah, seems you're just as hard headed as you act!" His comment was followed by gales of shrieking, maddened laughter as he readied himself for the oncoming attack. Sure enough, it came: With Meta becoming vulnerable to gain a boost in speed before reapplying his armor - armor that inadvertently left him more vulnerable to Zack than he realized.
As Meta charged, Zack fired three times in quick succession - potshots really, more designed to distract than to hit, but sufficiently lethal in their own right should Zack be so lucky. As Meta armored up, his flesh becoming steel mid punch, Zack guessed his plan and knew exactly how to counter - it was common sense - light element for speed, heavy and durable for damage, combine the two and you get a deadly force. While Zack couldn't have known if Meta would go back to being metal, he did know through experience that his plan would still have an effect.
Once again, he twisted hit body in time to the oncoming blow, allowing the punch to narrowly scrape past and bringing his gun arm up above their heads. It was at this moment he sprung his trap: focusing his concentration on his free hand, he used his now magnetic hand to clamp onto the wrist Meta had swung with, disguising his ability with good timing. In the same instant he swung his gun hand down and fired a round into Metas foot, knowing it would be very unlikely to damage him - another distraction.
Moving his hand with the recoil, he swung his fist upward and reversed it's orientation, bringing the side of his fist as well as the butt of the pistol hammering towards the underside of Meta's jaw, any damage the move may do being second to the fact that tilting his head back would throw him off balance so the following kick to the ankles would be far more likely to bring him to the ground. Looking over at the hot dog vendor, however, Zack swore: The man was convulsing on the ground with foam coming from his mouth. "So this was your plan, hard head? Distract me while he commits suicide?" | |

| As Meta was charging, three shots were fired at him. He had been lucky enough to twist out of the way of them, but this slowed him down enough that the punch had been easily avoided. Meta's wrist was grabbed by the guy and at the same second his leg had been fired at, but this had not hurt him at all, this did however distract him. Meta was struck in the jaw by the mans fist and the butt of his gun, but this did not hurt him at all, it had however, tilted his head back so he was knocked over by the kick to his ankles.
However, mid fall he returned to normal, brought his arms under him, planted his hands on the ground and cartwheeled back to his feet. When he landed he noticed that instead of attacking him, Zack was talking, for a second he had no idea what Zack was talking about, but then he noticed the man lying on the ground, from the look of things he had taken a cyanide pill. His fist shook in anger and he glared at Zack Who was he? Why were you here? Why did he kill himself? his voice was as cold as ice. Was this his fault? Had he been responsible for this mans death? Meta was so angry he was shaking, his anger both at his foe and himself. | |

| "Oh hoh, the big hero using his words? I must have passed out or something, this CAN'T be real." The madman laughed mockingly for a moment. He paused, his eyes narrowing as he stared Meta down. "You really aren't one of them, are you.... Then I suppose you're just an idiot." He laughed again, as if he were somehow being quite funny. "Are you quite sure you want to know, hard head? It might be too much for your little mind to handle. Wouldn't want you ending up like me you know, one of me is too much already." More laughter, this time with far more hysteria than before. After calming himself down, he continued. "Besides, if you knew anything, they'd hunt you too. And I'm not so sure you're quite as capable of survival as I am... You'd end up either picked apart on a table or fighting for them within a week. And then I'd have to kill you too." On his last sentence, his voice darkened, becoming deep and serious - the exact opposite of the high pitched, almost laughing voice he'd been using up until then. | |

| Meta had asked the man questions, honestly, he didn't know why he was expecting serious answers, this guy looked and acted crazy. True to his expectations, the guy just mocked him, but then he suddenly went serious, well, his eyes looked serious anyway, he still had that stupid grin on his face and he still had that voice that made Meta want to kick him in the balls again and again. Meta didn't humour him by responding to his insults and stupid laughs, but the thing he said about them hunting him too piqued his interest Them? Who's them? if he was at all insulted about Zack talking as if he was a lot stronger than him, then he did not show it. | |

| The madman's eyes narrowed. He shook his head. "There are far worse things out there than me. I rather hope that you're not the trusting type hard head, because anyone and everyone can be one of them. And do you know the very best part?" His grin widened as he leaned in. "Most of them don't even know what they are. They have no memories of the experiments, the torture, of any of rest of the process that turned them into living weapons. But one day, when they're ready..." Zack snapped his fingers. "Suddenly the loving wife is dragging her children into the street with a gun to their heads. Suddely your dumpy co worker who couldn't hurt a fly has slaughtered his way through the workplace and is rounding up those deemed compliant. A flip of a switch and we become a police state. And I'm beginning to suspect that that's not even their end goal. You wanted to know what I'm doing here? I'm fighting a war. A war nobody else knows about. You're mind is your own because of the efforts of a lone madman to evade and deter an organization that does not exist." Exasperated, Zack kicked the dead hot dog vendor. "And now I have to start over. This one had information I could have used. The only good thing to have come of this is that he died before he could have told anyone where I was and that I'd found him." Zack narrowed his eyes at the dead man. "Probably. We shouldn't stay here in any case." | |

| Metamorphi listened to Zack talking about whoever 'them' was. To be perfectly honest, Meta was not believing a single word of this, it all just sounded crazy, but Meta heard him out until the end. The only part that made sense was that if this was true, then they should likely move on Yeah, let's move... don't think I'm letting you out of my sight for a second though! | |

| Zack's eyes narrowed. "Right, I'm sure there's absolutely nothing wrong with your plan. I take it you haven't heard of me. Which now that I think of it, is a good thing." Zack stood, apparently picking a direction and walking. "Better hurry up then hard head! Wouldn't want you to get left behind." Apparently this was some sort of hilarious joke, as he promptly burst into hysteric laughter. "Let's hope you have somewhere better than me in mind if you want to keep following me, because I get the feeling you won't like my accommodations. They're a regular 5 star resort." He burst into laughter once more.
ooc: Probably good to end it with your reply and assume Zack gave him the slip at some point. I'd say we continue this later, but for me that means three months. ^^ Also, sorry about the short post, I know it's inexcusable, but I really don't know what more to add to their situation without continuing it elsewhere or presenting a situation that would likely last longer than I'm here. | |

| Metamorphi followed Zack, he was not going to let him out of his sight. He ignored Zack making jokes and laughing at him and just kept on following him. They were walking for quite a while. At one point, their path led to a dark alleyway that led into a busy street, Zack had walked in first and Metamorphi quickly realised his mistake. But when he ran after him, the crazy man, who turned out to be quite stealthy, had disappeared into the crowd. Meta tried to look for him, but much to his dissatisfaction, he could not find him. | |
