The Gang War Part 1

In the middle of a burning part of the city several people wearing costumes could be seen running through the burning bloody streets. "My god how many people died here" a man, wearing a costume that had several crystal shards piercing out of it and purple lines running through it, said as he stared at the passing puddles of blood that littered the streets.

"It doesn't matter how many died, all that matters is that we complete our objective" a women, wearing a costume that had several white lines running across it and purple dots inside the costume, said as she then said, "all that matters is that we crush the Golden Lions before they send more men to help out their High-ranker."

Several of the heroes looked at her for a bit before nodding their heads and continued their speed.

As they ran one of the heroes suddenly fell backwards, causing the other heroes to stop running and look back at their comrades. They saw a hole as big as a pebble appear in their comrade's chest and blood fountaining out of it. "We're being ambushed" the crustal costume man said before placing his hand onto the ground and several crystalline pillars rose up. Soon the sounds of guns firing and bullets hitting the crystal wall was heard.

"On the roofs" one of the heroes said before bullets rained down and turned his body into swiss cheese. "Damn it" a hero, wearing a full red costume with several writings running across its surface, said before pointing both his palms onto the roof that the bullets were raining from. "Eat this" the hero shouted before several small orbs of red appeared in front of his hand and launched towards the roof.

"Take cover" one of the assailants on the roof shouted before a red orb pierced his chest and a hole the size of a rock replaced it. "Shit, it's Gravoton" another assailant said before a red orb hit his head and a fountain of blood poured out.

"Take that you spineless cowards" Gravoton cheered our before one of his buddies pulled him back. "What was that fo-" Gravoton soon stopped as he saw bullets spraying onto the spot that he was just standing on.

"Your welcome" a young man, wearing a green outfit that had a techno vibe, said as he swiped his right finger into the air and a projection of the nearby buildings was shown as well as several red and blue dots. The techno man stared at the projection and said "about three guys are on the building with a pig sign and four guys are sniping us from the building down the street.

Hearing what he said, Gravoton and several other heroes began to launch attacks at the buildings and spots that the techno man pointed out. As they fired their abilities several shouts and screams could be heard coming from the buildings and spots.

"How are they finding us so easily?" a man who was hiding behind a building shouted out as several metal balls flew past his head and hit several of his comrades in the head. "Do they have a tracker or a locater hero with them?" the man said before a spear made of light pierced his chest and ended him on the spot.

"This is the last one" a hero, wearing medieval armor with several lions running across its surface all attacking a dragon, said as he pointed a blade made out of light at a man who was laying on his back and pointing a pistol at the hero with fear written in his eyes. "Man I sort of feel bad for these guys'' a hero said as they touched a dead body of a gangster and the body soon combust into flames, "is what I would have said if you guys didn't take out some of us when we were running to our rendezvous spot."

The medieval knight soon raised his blade high, ready to strike down the cowering man in front of him "hey, what are you guys doing?"

Everyone stopped moving as their body was covered by a cold chill. The medieval knight looked back and saw his reflection on a black smooth mirror. The medieval knight quickly took a couple steps back and saw a man wearing a black outfit that was used to serve people at bars and helmet that had its front part made entirely out of a black glass and the back having several mechanical parts and tubes.

"So what were you guys doing to that man over there" the mysterious person said as they walked slowly towards the medieval knight. The medieval knight quickly brought his sword made of light up and aimed it at the mysterious person's head, "reveal yourself and your purpose for being here!"

The mysterious man stopped walking and looked at the bright glowing sword. "That is going to be a problem" the mysterious man muttered before looking back at the knight, "for who I am, I have not decided yet. But for why I am here, the reason is simple. Someone asked me for a favor and I am here to complete it" the mysterious man said before the blade of light was quickly slashed towards him.

As the blade clashed with the mysterious man's body a strange sight was soon seen. Instead of the man's body limping over or a fountain of blood pouring out. Instead the mysterious man's body began to turn into snow directly where the blade was traveling through. "And it just so happens that the favor he asked of me was to take care of you heroes" the mysterious man said as his body soon turned into snow and disappeared.

"Hey, Observer, where the hell did that man go?!" a hero shouted out as each one of them activated their abilities ready for a fight. "I'm looking for him so get off my ass" the techno man, who is the Observer, said as he quickly activated his power and looked at the projection. As he looked his eyes widened as he collapsed onto his butt and stared at the projection with horror.

"Where is he Observer" Gravoton shouted out as he looked at Observer only to see him collapsed on his butt and with horror looking at his face. "Hehehehe" Observer began to giggle like a maniac as he looked at Gravoton, "he's everywhere."

"!!!"

Hearing this all the heroes began to look around for any signs of his appearance. "If you're looking for me I'm right here" a voice said behind a hero who was wielding several blades with six ethereal arms. The hero quickly turned around only to see a hand covered by a grip tender glove in front of his face.

"You should close your eyes" the mysterious man said before a great shock ran through the hero's body and lighting began to bounce out of his body. Everyone looked back only to see their comrade charred up with bits of electricity running through his body and a half formed arm with one end covered in bits of snow and the other grabbing onto their comrades head.

The hand soon let go of the hero and the hero soon fell limply onto the floor. "Who's next?" a voice said as the arm soon crumbled into snow and disappeared into the air. Several heroes thought about running but the idea disappeared as they saw one of their comrades quickly running away for one second and being grabbed by a hand and electrocuted.

One by one, the hero's numbers slowly began to dwindle down as time passed by.

"Fight me you coward" the medieval knight shouted out as he saw his seventh comrade collapse onto the ground, his skin black with small bits of lighting coming out of his body. Silence filled the air for several seconds before a bone chilling voice was said behind the medieval knight, "with pleasure."

The medieval knight quickly formed a halberd made of light and slashed behind him. When he saw what was behind him, all he could see was the helmet the mysterious man was wearing floating in the air and a hand quickly approaching his body. "Damn it" the knight shouted out as a shield of light formed in front of the hand and blocked its course.

"Smart," the voice said as the mysterious man's hand collapsed into snow once it made contact with the shield, "but not smart enough." The knight soon felt something touching his neck and when the knight looked down he could see an arm connected to white human figure grabbing onto his neck.

The knight quickly raised up his halberd of light and slashed towards the mysterious figure, but as the knight took a deep breath in he was hit by a sudden shock of pain and a feeling of coldness. The knight stopped his strike and slowly grabbed onto his neck as his hands began to shiver.

"What did you do to me?" the knight said as cold foggy breaths came out of his mouth as he spoke and breathed. "Oh not much, just give you frostbite that will slowly cover your body and take your life once it covers it entirely" the mysterious man said as he slowly lifted up the knight helmet.

When the helmet was finally off the knight's head, all that was seen was a burly man with frozen snot coming out of his nose glaring at the mysterious figure. The mysterious figure looked at the knight before getting up and walking towards the gangster that was about to be killed by the knight moments earlier. "Hey heroes" the mysterious man said as he walked towards the gangster and his body slowly turned back to normal, "if you want to save that man's life, take him to a healer as quickly as possible and hope to whatever god you pray to, to never see me again."

The mysterious man soon walked towards a dark alleyway with the injured gangster and quickly disappeared from the hero's sight. The heroes stood their all dumb struck and filled with fear before coming back to reality upon hearing the knight gasp for air. "Hey Emberace, use your flames to heat up his body" a hero said as the hero who earlier burned up a gangster corpse, which is Emberace, quickly formed flames in his hands and ran it across the knight's shivering body.

As the gang of heroes quickly dragged their freezing comrade back to their rendezvous, they quickly informed their superiors of the appearance of the mysterious man and the threat he might impose on them if not taken care of.

"Rest here for a bit, alright" Victor said to the injured gangster that he rescued from a couple of heroes a couple minutes ago. He and the gangster were currently hiding at his bar since villains or those who were recommended or told about the bar could see it and enter it.

"Thank you for saving me" the gangster said as he looked at Victor with gratitude in his eyes, as well as a pain. Most likely caused by his broken arm that a hero caused to him. "It's no problem, after all. This place is meant to help villains who are in need."
