It was close to noon; the streets are busy with all type of vehicle going around the vein of the downtown area. Some of them are going to work, some going to their lunch break, while other is probably shopping. The chilly autumn wind blew pass the high-rise building, making the temperature down on the street much colder than it was suppose to be. Even though the sun is way up high in the sky, the huge overcast enveloped the city with a brownish gray tone all around. The amount of foot-trafficking is quite high, considering the huge construction happening in the downtown in response to the dragon’s aftermath. In this type of condition, some of the criminal organizations can flourish without worrying about the law, considering most of the law-enforcements are quite busy dealing with the search-and-rescue mission at the other side of downtown where it suffered the most damage. As a result, the amount of drug-trafficking is rising, and spreading around the city quite rapidly. Among the big drug-gang out there are the one the public called the Street Shark, consisted of mostly low-level thugs all over the city. Their leader, nicknamed the Great White, has been elusive to the police officers for over a month now, and so far the police have not gotten any lead to pin-point the identity of the guy. Rumored even circulate around, stating that he might have some connection to the infamous Pandaemonium, and are being heavily protected by supers. Sitting on a smaller building in the downtown area, Trinity is quietly listening to his favorite tune while sketching on a small piece of paper with his pencil. He bobbed his head in the rhythmic tune, seems like he’s having a best day of his life. While he was sketching, he started to turn his head over: “Oh, hello there,” he said, “I didn’t notice you actually decided to click on this. Please, allow us to introduce ourselves:” “I am Monado,”“You can called me Jackal,”“And you can call us Trinity, dear reader. If you’ve read to this point, then you probably have an idea as to why I’m here right now.” “Trinity, I don’t think they cared about the back-story of the situation. They’ll probably more interest in the fight that’s going to happen.”“Oh come now Jackal,” Trinity pulled out his pistol out of the holster, “I’m sure they’ll need some context in order to help them understand.” He then turned his face toward the air once again, “So anyhow, we managed to track down Great White,” “Through criminal connection, obtain the info through the grapevine; whatever you called the process, we finally located him, something that took the police month only to fail.”“And according to our sources, he’s on his way to a big meeting with some of the other drug-lord out there, either to make a deal or to remove the competitions. And he’ll be here in a few minutes, so sit back and enjoy the fight.” “I can hardly wait to see what supers out there decided to get in the way of justice. My weapon is fully arm and ready for anything.”“Be patient; we don’t know who will show up, always be vigilant and prepare for the worst.”“Sure mom.”As he was predicted, a small red car is heading toward his location; inside consisted of a driver, two big burly guy sitting on each side of a smaller figured in between. “Well gentleman,” Trinity cocked his pistol before pulled his sword out of the scabbard, “let’s our sermon begin.” He pointed the gun at the moving vehicle, aim carefully as the gun started to glow red: “Ask of me and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance and the uttermost part of the earth for thy possession.”Pulling the trigger, the pistol fired a large round heading straight into the street before the vehicle. Before the driver could react, the car’s tires all got stuck into the sticky mess that the street has become, unable to break free from it. With the red car completely immobile, Trinity fired another round behind the car, creating a huge wall of plushy redirecting the upcoming and incoming traffic to another direction, making the probability of a pile-up lower and lower. Another round is fired to completely sealing off the area, blocking any innocent civilian away from the cross-fire. With the area fully secured, Trinity hopped down from the roof and slowly approaching the red car, expecting any sign of threat that will come his way soon enough. Scheme: apprehend the leader of the Street Shark in order to hand him to the police, and dealing a crippling blow to the possible crime organization.

Mass had never done anything for anyone else, ever. Everything he had done since he discovered his powers had been fully for himself, and very rarely helped anyone else in any way. This was about to change. He was going to start trying to be at least a little bit more of a good guy for the city and the Keepers. He would start this new lifestyle by helping a strange person capture a gang leader. The man probably didn't know Mass was going to be helping him but it would quickly become obvious when Mass jumped down from his rooftop perch and began walking next to the gun wielding christian. So, what are we doing here? Just capturing him and turning him in? He was used to these missions being ended with a ransom or killing the target, so he was going to be out of his comfort zone here, but hey, change is needed for change to happen.
Supporting: Time to change!

The Good Shepherd was the liaison with the cops for Rein often and he liked to take a proactive approach. Rumor on the street was that Great White of the Street Sharks was fixing to move in one some of their rivals. The Shepherd was not a fighter when he could help it- his military background was excellent but meant nothing when put up against supers. He was at a secure listening post atop one of the buildings. When he heard the screeching tires and the gunshots he cursed. It would have been easier to just use him as bait and track him for a few months but someone jumped the gun.
“Sir! Incoming enemy action!” Agent Delaware said over the com channel. Her and Brooklyn were observing other targets on other potential routes and couldn’t get over in time.
“Man… you get to have all the fun.” Brooklyn said good-humoredly, though the Shepherd knew he was legitimately dejected he didn’t get to engage.
“Radio silence. Engaging for extraction.” Was all the Good Shepherd replied in a deadpan military voice into his com channel. He raised his rifle and angled it over the top of the building- looking to provide support in case things went south. He needed this guy alive.
Supporting: He's a valuable target and anything to bridge the super/unpowered law enforcement gap and bring the two closer in line.

Bloodbath sighed exaggeratedly as the car suddenly stopped, his nervous tick tearing up his hands, but he didn't seem to be that scared anymore.
He was ordered to keep these guys in line, just in case Pandemonium needed extra eyes or fighters...and that would be kinda hard to do with the leader behind bars.
He leapt on top of the car, forming claws and spikes around the area, "G-g-go...away!" He mumbled somberly, slouching and generally looking like a non-threatening person if not for the blood swirling around him, "Y-you're going to-to get h-hurt."
Opposing: We need this guy!

There was not a lot of reason to be here, especially as there was nothing particularly attracting to Tricky. The Great White was a fairly good reason. Tricky wanted to protect him, if only for the fact that he caused more destruction. Plus, it was always better to have a gang occupying the police and the Bulwark; both had the potential to be large bothers. And, naturally, he wanted to greet the new super on the scene. What with their plush walls and sticky roads, and whatever the hell they were talking about. He didn't remember clicking anything, or even reading for that matter. Tricky heard it as he was scaling the building Trinity was on, only to reach the roof and find no one present. He rushed to the edge and looked out after his tail. Who had acquired a new and semi familiar acquaintance, Critical... "Mask? Flask? Mass!" The Jester thought out loud, quite loudly. He didn't continue his speaking, and instead just prepared to go to work.
Opposing: Well, he is helpful, let's save him!

Greed usually didn't care too much about things like this, but when he saw the chance to get some attention himself; well. He simply had to don the golden hoodie and head to the market for some chaos. However, when he saw that someone was trying to steal a gang leader that was pretty important... Well, he couldn't just let that happen. He found himself smirking despite the obvious need to be serious. Let's see... It looked to him as though his allies here were the jester Tricky and Bloodbath. So clearly Greed would be the most intimidating one here. God did he want to win. Just tasting that sweet victory would make all the trouble of coming down here worthwhile. He was ready.
"Pardon me, but do you guys mind not [/i] taking the gang leader? I'll make it worth your while." Greed said pulling out an obscene amount of cash and showing it to the assembled supers on the other side. Opposing: No one gets more attention than I do and gets away with it.[/div]

Bloodbath whirled around threatningly before visibly deflating as he spotted two allies, drawing back the blood that arched toward them. "S-sorry...help m-me?" He whispered, looking briefly over his shoulder at his new-found enemies.
He leapt off the car and retreated toward his allies, pressing his hands together in what looked like a desperate attempt to prepare himself.

"But of course, my fine, bloody fellow! We're all pals here, right?" The Jester patted his anemic ally on the back and turned his sinister smile toward the fellow, just before taking a bow to Greed. It was always pleasant to have allies on these ventures. "Then again, maybe not all of us." His voice went from a higher pitched, peculiarly accented pleasant one to a deeper, almost growling tone with a wicked edge. Tricky turned to the Good Shepherd and gave a bow, purely out of mockery, and seemed to stifle a chuckle. Next, his head swiveled to Trinity. "Don't disappoint me as much as the last fellow, eh? I'd like to get a real fight out of one of you, but two of you aren't really good enough." The former of the statements was directed to Trinity, but the latter went to all three of his adversaries. He began to approach his foes on the ground, ready to simply face them.

Greed nodded as he examined the other team. "Of course, Jester. It's always good to have allies." He said not returning the show of respect. "If you fail me here, you won't like what I want to do to you..." He said grinning as he looked to his teammates. "I give you one more chance. Cash, for the gang lord." Said Greed continuing to wave the money around. "Should you not accept this generous offer; we will be forced to go into fisticuffs."
Greed knew what he was doing. Even if they took his money; he'd have it back within the hour. All he had to do was follow them around until his wallet felt heavier.

“It seems that we got ourselves a clown, a suicidal emo, and one of the Seven Sin representatives. Such misguided people; they have turned their face away from the God’s loving embrace.”
“Heheh, if that guy wanted to bleed out so badly, he can just stand there and let us slice him open.”
Trinity looked at his opponents, at the same time noticing a few more figured appear at the scene. They don’t look like anyone working for the Pandaemonium, but he feel that they’re here to help apprehend Great White. Just as he has expected, the gang leader is well protected with supers, no wonder the police have such a hard time apprehending the guy. Trinity turned over to nothing:
“Well reader, I guess the only way to get to our little target is to deal with this trio.”
Trinity raised both his hand horizontally with his sword and pistol pointed in opposite direction. The two weapons began to let out their own distingue glow, making the religious passages inscribing on the weapon much clearer. The pistol let out a crimson hue, while the silver blade of the sword gives off a light tin-blue.
“O Heavenly Father, grant us the strength of mind to accept that which can’t change, courage to change the thing I can, and wisdom to know the different. Amen.”

From atop the nearby building the Good Shepherd could see people gathering. Perfect- just what he needed, supers getting in the way of what should have been a simple law-enforcement activity. He recognized a few of them from his files as members of Pandemonium. Gritting his teeth the good Shepherd fired a smoke grenade to obscure the target- hoping he could pick him up later on his own. The canister sputtered and spit- kicking up great billowing clouds of thick, acrid-smelling, blue smoke.
"This is a law enforcement action! Disperse and no force will be used!" He barked from his spot atop the nearby low building with as much military authority as he could muster. He doubted they'd listen but, hey, at least he'd ask.

The sudden blast of ice break through the tortoise formation that Trinity’s knight form, knocking his dagger out of his hand and cause it to fly a little distance away, striking the ground as if it weight a ton as the blue light fade away.
“Monado,” Trinity said to the dagger, “are you alright?”
“Yeah, just got taken by surprise, no problem here.”
“Honestly, you’re making a fool of yourself, being knocked out just because of that.”
“Overconfident can get you nowhere, Jackal; never underestimate the opponents.”
Some of the knights that he summoned do seem to waver a little when the ice knock his dagger away. There’s not much time to retrieve Monado now, not when this maniac is shooting his ice shard all over the area with a potential of hitting a bystander. He cocked the pistol before he start shooting around the area, creating a large rock formation that stood between the ice shards and the people who might not have time evacuate just yet.
“I see why this city is in such peril, considering this is what length you supers will do just to get what you want. Leave those innocent bystanders be, criminals, for I am your opponent.”
Trinity’s pistol began to glow a brighter red as it cocked itself:
“Though I walked through the valley of death, I will fear no evil for thou art at my side.”

As the dagger left its owner, the maniacal laugh turned into a pointed chuckle. The weapon that had been used was tossed aside, shattering and melting, and Tricky shook his head at his foe. It had served what purpose it had, but it seemed like this was a fight that wouldn't last as long as he had originally hoped. Between the icy blast of spikes, Greed going after the soldiers, and Bloodbath's protection, they were already outplayed. It didn't help that they hadn't done anything particularly useful against them, either. The bloody Templars could pose a potential problem, but not one big enough to stop the momentum the Pandas had gathered. Tricky was disappointed, and slightly ticked off.
"Don't tell me what to do, especially without the power it back it up."
The tone of his voice was still deep, but the beginning of his statement had the indignity of an angry child; a large, possibly demonic, definitely robotic child. The second half was closer to a disappointed parent of the same nature, not particularly upset but more sad that a child thought itself great enough to prevent the Jester from doing what he pleased. And it pleased him greatly to hurt, maim, and kill innocent bystanders.
