[There's a group of supervillains running around town that are a bit unusual. No demands, no public presence, no real known goals or connections to anyone. They're doing something weird to apparently random citizens that leaves them hospitalized and have likewise fought off a few individual heroes using powerful but archaic weaponry.]

[That's why THE OMEGAFRIENDS have come up with a plan to attack the quartet separately by dividing them up and hopefully drawing out their leader. Your mission, should you choose to tag this, is to take out the one who's been lured to a city park tonight. It was supposed to be an ambush, but unless you have stealth powers, the pink-haired, ponytailed woman in the weird armored coat seems prepared for your arrival.]

Damn. We've gotten your attention now, I see. Did you have any demands, or do you want to just get straight to it?

[She's already drawn her sword, for her part.]

[Alternatively, there's a rather distinct-looking woman in a perfectly normal outfit doing some grocery shopping at the local whole foods market. She has quite the collection going in her cart, and is looking worriedly at a handwritten list in the neat cursive of a young child.]

What on Earth is a daikon...?

[Today is another normal day in Venture City, which of course means the city is being attacked by something that looks like a dragon straight out of a fantasy novel, clearly conjured up by some swords-and-sorcery-themed supervillain. As civilians run in terror from the flames raining from the sky, a superhero flies to the rescue!]

[No, wait, it's the weird pink lady who's been mugging people. She's attacking the monster with a drive normally reserved for the noblest of superheroes, though. What's she after?]

[Well, no matter what her reason, she's protecting people, so it's probably best to take the help you can get, right?]

[The redhead facing Signum was one Signum may have been able to get information on. Sonicheart, after all, was an Omegafriend, if one who stayed out of the press.]

I only wish to know this.

What are you doing, striking at so many innocents?

Edited 2014-06-16 02:51 (UTC)

You know, you're the first person who's actually asked me why.

[Signum turns to face the heroine. She vaguely recognizes her, but it's not as if she's one of the famous ones.]

It's none of your business, but I do appreciate the thought.

[Lori shakes her head a little.]

I wonder if your friends will say the same thing, once they're arrested.

[The girl's unarmed, in spite of what the icon may say. But she has a hand raised - and not in a martial stance.]

Please surrender.

[Hopefully Signum couldn't tell just how much Lori didn't want to actually fight if she could avoid it - she knew for a fact she was outclassed, and just trying to buy time until someone else could jump in.

Fortunately, she had at least a few options there.]

Going for a divide-and-conquer attack, hm? I do hope you've accounted for all of us, or someone's going to end up getting hurt.

[She looks the junior superhero over.]

I don't mean to be arrogant, but I hope you're not the only one they sent to catch me, or this is going to be a bit embarrassing.

[... And then a shockwave comes out of Lori's hand. No announcement, no real warning - just a quick strike, followed by a quick backstep. She's up against a sword expert, so Lori knows to keep her distance and use soundwave blasts to drop her.

Of course, she was alone... For the moment. And outclassed. But she just needed to buy enough time, and preferably soften this problem up.]

[ Dragons usually weren't a thing that Dante dealt with. Most of the time, he left things like this to the other heroes that were running around all over the place. But unfortunately for him, coming back to Venture City and joining the Omegafriends officially meant that he had to actually, you know, deal with things that weren't demons.

Oh well. At least he was actually allowed to kill Dragons. Much better than having to deal with... wait. Wasn't that woman one of those 'knights' who've been going around mugging people?

Looks like he was going to have even more headaches to deal with than he was expecting.

When the woman lands, Dante takes the opportunity to fire two magical blasts from his guns at the lizard as he approached. Rebellion was strapped to his back, but it's not like he could do much with the sword from all the way over here. ]

It's not really like you to play the hero. [ More magical blasts, though the dragon doesn't seem to be too phased by them. ]

What did this thing do to you? Eat the magical doodad that you need to blow up the world, find the ancient treasure, or whatever else it is you have planned that I don't care about?

Maybe I just don't like dragons.

[She's not going to answer your question, Dante, but she won't say no to the ranged support, either. While the dragon is distracted by the magical blasts (since when can bullets hurt?! it thinks), Signum takes the opportunity to make a leaping charge at the dragon's torso, hacking away and looking for a weak point.]

Oh, that's barely an answer at all.

[ Though with the way that the dragon seems to be causing havoc and at the same time not being fun to fight at all, that was a sentiment that he agreed with. Even as he kept moving and blasting the dragon with his guns, that red energy slamming into its body, this wasn't anything even remotely challenging for him.

So of course, the dragon decides to ignore Signum entirely for now and spew fire over at Dante instead. He does manage to jump away at the last second-

-and by jump away, Dante landed right on top of the thing's head, quickly firing both guns into the creature's face. ]

If you have any idea of how to kill this thing, by all means, hurry up already. I'd prefer to not be stuck with the bill for everything Mushu here burns.

Who said I was trying to kill it?

[Signum gives up on attacking its torso for the moment and flies straight up to smash a gauntleted fist into the dragon's jaw, focusing damage on its head. Between ignoring gravity and general super-strength, she at least makes it flinch and stop breathing fire and seriously reconsider the state of its face.]

... It's a giant mindless fire-breathing monster running amok in the city. Killing things like this is how you stop them.

[ At least, it was how he stopped things like that, anyway. But the guns weren't doing much at all... and Dante needs to jump again, landing on the dragon's back. He quickly holsters his guns, and pries the Rebellion off of his back.

If magic demon guns didn't work, why not magic demon sword? Dante goes to stab at the creature between its wings, but stops suddenly. ]

So, if you're not trying to kill this thing, what are you trying to do?

[Before you, Signum: a young man in his early to mid teens. He's holding a fancy stick with a weird blue cylinder on top, and he's wearing a trenchcoat with spikes and various other adornments that should not be armor, except it totally is.

...Ah, hell. It's Chrono, and he's finally narrowed down the suspects to just you. The Bureau, by which I mean just him, has been combing this town for some time with the assistance of the Omegafriends, and now... now it's all coming to fruition.]

The only demand is that you surrender. By my authority as an officer of the Time-Space Administration Bureau, you are under arrest for multiple counts of assault with hostile magic, and will be further questioned in connection with attempted dimensional instabilities in this area. Lay down your weapon and dispel your magic, and you will be granted a fair trial.

[With a completely straight face and no fear. Damn, this kid's confident, if nothing else. That or terrifyingly duty-bound.]

[Oh shit, it's someone who might actually know what's going on.]

That's a nice offer, but I don't have any more time for the Bureau's legal proceedings than the local ones.

[She turns to face the kid.]

If it makes you feel better, we'll be moving on now that you've found us. Our work can be done almost anywhere; this planet was simply convenient.

[That's half a truth, at least.]

Perhaps you should make time, then. And I strongly doubt you'll be moving on that easily. With the kinds of things you've been up to, I suspect you have other things to do here. Things you can't just leave behind.

[He has a hunch. Perhaps not all the information - they'd left the ferret with the answers behind again - but enough to know he's barking up the right tree.]

We don't have to do this. I can't let you walk away, and I'll meet force with force. But there has to be a better way.

[She pauses to consider. How much did this lackey know?]

Well, I was planning to be more generous, but if you're going to insist, I'm sure you'll be worth a page or two when I'm done with you.

[She squares up with him and holds her sword in a ready stance.]

And no.

There doesn't have to be.

Big radish, isn't it?

[After a month on the Moon, Jebediah is back and craving fresh food. Lunar Jetlag is pretty bad though, so there's little chance of him connecting the distinctness of this woman to anyone else as he loads up on...all the produce basically.]

You think so? I'm not sure I've ever heard of it before today.

[Spaceman, meet alien. Possibly. I haven't decided yet.]

Yeah, well, you live in this town, you pick up a few things. And I've got more than a few Japanese engineers on staff these days.

[Jeb doesn't care for cheater aliens who cheat by teleporting places.]
