"Well, that was over really quick," Shinn scoffed as he bore witness to the Hulk throwing the BMW 745i at the scythe-wielding girl. She was knocked over upon impact with the now-mangled chunk of steel; to Shinn, it didn't look like she would survive that one, even though she shrugged off attacks from Usagi and other adversaries without any problems. However, Shinn immediately noticed that something was wrong; he had just quipped about it a few seconds ago.

"It can't be over that quick. Either she's much weaker than I thought, or this is some sort of trick. I'd bet that it's the latter," Shinn mused. He pumped his shotgun, making a distinct ka-chunk sound as a 12-gauge shell was loaded into the barrel. "Yeah, let's go do this..." he said to himself as he cautiously inched his way forward, SPAS-12 in hand.
 
Why hadn't I seen that coming? Why? I could've dodged it easily had I seen it coming. Perhaps I had erely underestimated my enemy. Either way, it was a little late now, as I had been crushed under the weight of a vehicle, barely able to move. Ziog recovered me enough so that I could move, and I slowly crawled out from underneat the wreck, blood flowing down from my head, and my body all beat up. My vision was blurry, and it hurt like heck. I still got up however, barely holding onto Ziog, unbalanced swaying back and forth a bit. I would fight to the death if I needed to...
 
Wow, and I thought things couldn't get weirder. Now that big green thingie is fighting scythie.

Coriander watched, standing a couple feet away from the fight. Either scythie had gone whack, or she really wanted to die. Her persistence amazed her, though. It was like Naruto-nii's. She grinned, despite the situation. "Go, scythie! Beat that green thing!" Meh, what else could she do. It did seemed wrong to interfere with their battle. And, if she did, scythie would probably just go ballistic.

She kept her eye on Shinn Langely Soryu, chuckling slightly, as she found his name quite funny, and prepared to do a jutsu. She performed the first few hand seals and waited. Should he attack, she was going to stop him.
 
The young man who was driving crawled out of a small space of the twisted wreck, before brushing off his pinstripe suit, and resetting his Fedora on his head. He had insanely long black hair, reaching to below his waist, and thick glasses on that obscurred his eyes. "Hmm," He said in a cultured voice. "He acts like a child, so this should amuse him..." He reached into a pocket, and threw what appeared to be a large grenade into the air, soaring just past the green behemoth before it popped, releasing several streams of multicolored smoke, and bright flashing light sparks all around the air where it detonated, before he ran to stand below the scythe girl. "Please miss, jjust relax, this won't hurt." He said, before pulling another device from his suit, which looked almost like a remote control, with a miniature replica of the yellow jewel, only this one red in a small glass orb. He pressed a few quick buttons, and they both dissapeared in two small flashes of light among many...
 
I can feel the pain in him.... he's not really evil....," Sailor Moon thought. She could sense the rage inside of the Hulk, and she could feel the pain to his heart which was causing it. If she could remove that pain, he might calm down. Moon Healing Escalation does heal wounds to the body, but its true purpose is to heal wounds to the heart. And if they can't beat him, then I may be the only one who has a chance of stopping him!

With her thoughts to boost her confidence and her urge to 'help' the Hulk, Sailor Moon got up from her crippled postion on the floor and held up the Moon Stick again, while shouting, "Moon Healing Escalation!" Just like before, a cricle of shimmering white light appeared behind the girl, but this time the small sparkling specks of light flew over to the Hulk and surrounded his body....
 
I was standing there, waiting for my defeat, and death. Trust me, with my position in this world, it would have been better if I WAS dead. However, Mousse came to my aid, and we disappeared in a flash of bright light.

When the light cleared, I found both Mousse and I in an office like room, which was inside a warehouse. I instantly collapsed to the ground, seeing that only he was around, and my breaths shortened and slowed. I had taken more damage then I had let on earlier. In reality, my condition was critical. For a human, I was lucky to live after being squashed by a car...
 
Mousse sighed as he walked over to the girl, and lifted her up gently. It was a good thing he had some skill at thaugmerty. In a matter of minutes, she'd find her major wounds bandaged securely, and resting on a soft bed on the ground floor of the warehouse, with mousse sitting in a chair next to the bed, waiting for her to awaken so he could follow his orders.

I was standing on the large carrige bridge, staring down the black creature, cars swerving around us, shrieking as they did so. He raised his gun, and I immidiately began pulling all of the male half of the source, Saidin, that I could manage. As the bullets flew towards me, I sidestepped most, and blocked the otherswith my sword, causing my hand to go numb. But thankfully, rather than bullets, his gun was clicking uselessly before long. He tossed it aside, and I realised that my sword was too bent to be of use. I tossed it aside, and met him as he charged at me, seeming to fly along the ground. I focused a shied of air around myself, just outside my body, and he hit, hard. Yet he bounced off of me like he was completely unharmed. Focusing more weaves of air, I leapt impossibly high, landing on one of the many beams of the bridge. I tensed as I saw him land in front of me, and sent balls of fire at him, which was intercepted by glowing yellow beams. I blinked. This thing could channel? No, it was that jewel of his...
 
Hulk looked around, light was surrounding him. He couldn't see. He started getting angrier from confusion, until he found the anger slipping away. Hulk's body contracted. His skin went from green to white.

The light from Usagi's Moon Stick disappeared. Where Hulk stood, not stood the shirtless scientist Bruce Banner. Bruce looked at Usagi and asked, "What happened? How were you able to stop the Hulk?"
 
Shinn was still far from the Hulk and the scythe-wielding girl when he saw the driver of the BMW 745i crawl out of the wreck relatively intact. "Okay, now just how the **** could he survive that? He should've been crushed as well," he said to himself, somewhat amazed.

After crawling out of the wrecked car, the driver took out a smoke grenade and threw it at the Hulk; it exploded in a thick cloud of multicoloured smoke and bright sparks. What happened next under the smoke screen, Shinn could not see; by the time the smoke cleared, both the driver and the girl were gone. Next thing he knew, Usagi had shown up, and she proceeded to use her Moon Healing Escalation on the Hulk; not before long, the Hulk was back to being Bruce Banner once more. "Darn it, Hulk, you should've crushed her when you had the chance," Shinn chuckled.
 
"Cut it out." A voice commanded as a girl appeared before Shadow and his opponent, a sword in her hand. Her outfit was pretty tight and revealing for a girl, and she appeared a bit older than me. "I'm looking for a girl that posesses a scythe. A girl named Vita. Do you know of her whereabouts?"

Meanwhile, I awoke once more, and found myself laying on a bed. My wounds were bandaged up and Ziog had returned to its regular form, along with me. I sat up, and murmered to my host, "What's happening?"
 
I grimaced at the new appearance. Shadow looked at me, and I gave the slightest movement of my head to indicate a nod. Then, we moved as one. Shadow flipped forward in a somersault, trying to land a flat kick with his shoes which were spouting fire from the bottoms. I on the other harnd spun my body around as I jumped, launching a flying sidekick with my heel, aimed right for her temple. We could finish out dispute after this interuption was dealt with...

Mousse looked up from a framed photo he was ohlding, and quickly set it nexy to the bed. The girl in it had long, purple hair, and a slim, but well formed frame with perfectly defined muscles. "Shadow instructed me to inform you on our present situation, so I'll do just that." He said, his glasses gleaming. "My name is Mousse, and you're in one of many warehouse offices used by the mafia. You see, recently after this whole disaster with the universe happened, someone came, and quicckly took over the mafia by force, a beautiful woman. She even beat shadow, and set up one of her employees as the head in shadow's place, and demoted him to second in command. We're going to try to take back control of the mafia, but we need your help." He said, adjusting his lenses slightly. "That's the basics of it, but mister shadow can tell you more when he collects your friend, miss..." He said, trailing off as he waited for her name.
 
"Teleport." The sword said aloud as the girl disappeared into nothingness, appearing higher up in the sky, out of the way of the assault. She pointed her sword down at the two, and it said "Shot Mode" Before the swords blade split into two, leaving an opening between them. A grey coloured energy began to gather between the blades, and then shot out down towards the two in a large blast.

"Nobody attacks me when I'm off guard!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"My name is none of your concern." I answer coldly as I got up, rocking back and forth. I was still dizzy from the pain. "I refuse to help you as well. I'm not getting involved of the business of others, nor would I help you anyways."
 
I truned my shoulders aside, and shadow spun around, causing us to veer past eachother. Shadow dissapeared in a flash of green light,and I sprung up as soon as I touched the ground, travelling along the green beam, as shadows booted feat were coming down from above...



"Is that so?" He asked, before in a single, swift movement, knocking her off her feet, and placing her on the bed again, before showing her a picture. "Shadow said that I should use this as an incentive to get your agreement. If you can get shadow back in charge of the Mafia, it's yours." The item in the picture was nothing more than a small, dark blue gem, by the looks of it...
 
"You think you can sneak attack me, do you?" The girl called aloud as she waved her sword, and a large purple barrier surrounded her, flashes of lightning shooting out in every direction from it. "I'm much stronger than my sister, if that's who you're comparing me to!"



A jewel seed. My goal here was to collect those. It was also Doom, my sisters, goal, and I wouldn't let her win. "Fine, I'll help you, but I won't even break a sweat. Not even a single drop." I coldly stated as I stood up once more, even more bruised up than before. Trusth be told, I'd be screwed if I did ANYTHING in this condition.
 
Alright,Im done with my important stuff. I hope I can still join where I left off. If so,can somone fill me in on what happened? It seems like alot has gone on.
 
Shinn was nearly caught off guard by the sound of a Combine sniper rifle firing. Luckily for him, the shot missed, but he knew for a fact that the second one wouldn't. He saw the blue sighting beam originating from an apartment window, pointing around randomly for another target; this Combine sniper was still a n00b. Shinn knew what to do about this nuisance; he took out a frag grenade and threw it up into the sniper's roost. After a few seconds, the grenade exploded, killing the sniper; his rifle dropped down several stories to the ground, where Shinn picked it up. He now had a new weapon in his arsenal. "Excellent," he said to himself. "This'll be good for picking off a few Metro Cops."

Shinn shouldered his sniper rifle, which resembled a Combine-modified Arctic Warfare Magnum, and looked through the scope; through it, he could see a Combine APC accompanied by a group of Metro Cops coming down the street. He could also hear the sound of the APC's siren grow louder and louder as it approached. A rocket came flying his way. "Usagi, Bruce, get out of the way! The Combine are approaching!" Shinn called out as he narrowly dodged the rocket; it exploded several meters behind him. "If the Combine are here, then the resistance should be here as well. Jen and the others should've shown up by now," he said to himself as he took aim at the APC's gunner. He pulled the trigger, and the gunner ended up with a bullet in his head.
 
Shadow grimaced, and said loudly "I didn't come here to fight. Don't be upset, kid." He said, though who he was talking to, I wasn't sure. In a flash of light, I found myself staring into those red eyes of his, and in another flash...

"If you want that jewel, you'll follow that orders, reguardless of how much sweat, or blood you have to lose." Shadow said calmly as I looked around the room we were now in. Luckily, my saber was still with me, so I could work on repairing it...
 
The Combine APC's gunner was now down, thanks to Shinn and his sniper rifle, but he still had the APC itself and several Civil Protection officers to deal with. To him, the Metro Cops were relatively easy pickings, but the APC itself was a pain in the butt. The APC stopped, and one of the cops climbed aboard and took up the gun turret, only to be sniped by Shinn. "Idiot," Shinn sneered. "**** pigs never learn, do they?"

Shinn took aim at another Metro Cop and pulled the trigger on his rifle; the cop went down in a flash, along with another one, and another one, and another one... It was comparable to shooting fish in a barrel, kinda. Pretty soon, all that was left was the APC; its escorts gone, it resumed driving towards Shinn, but instead of going at its usual snail-like pace, it was now barreling down the street at an extremely high speed. Usagi and Bruce would be run over if Shinn didn't act, but try as he might, he couldn't; he simply did not have weapons heavy enough to take out the armoured beast.

Perhaps it was fate or just mere coincidence. Shinn thought he was hallucinating as he saw several M72 LAW rockets flying towards the APC. The rockets impacted just several meters before the APC would have hit Usagi and Bruce; the APC was a flaming piece of wreckage now, the Combine Civil Protection officers in it roasted to a suitable crisp. Through the scope of his sniper rifle, Shinn could see several figures coming out of their cover and running towards the wrecked APC; to him, it was none other than the resistance. "So they did show up after all," Shinn said to himself, somewhat relieved.
 
"They escaped..." The girl muttered as her opponents fled, leaving her alone. "No matter, I'll find Vita no matter what. After all, Mother will not accept my failure, and Vita deserves what's coming to her. With that, she disappeared into thin air.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My eyes narrowed as the small, furry, black being spoke. " I am not your possesion. I will take orders as long as I feel like it. However, if I don't feel the need to, I won't obey." I attempted to stand again, but my legs weakened and I fell back onto the bed.
