Lust
"One thing you can always count on is the judgment of others" – Kayla Adair
10:23am July 3rd, 2010, Frostfire Abandoned Base
Kayla sighed sitting against a wall. Ayame walked up to her. "What's the matter?" she asked with a smile. "Oh, its nothing… I just…don't really get everyone's utter acceptance," Kayla said looking down. "Acceptance? Of what?" Ayame asked. "Our powers…Demyan can turn into a giant beast bigger than Godzilla, which he can't control. If Angelo loses control of his temper he could blow out every bit of tech in a 10 mile radius. You have the power of a fucking fire god. We know nothing about Lily's power or its limits. And me, all my thoughts are drained out by the sound of everyone's blood pumping through their veins."
"Sounds like you need to distract yourself," Ayame said sitting down, flipping open her lighter. "It's not all that bad, really. Vulcan is a nice guy, even if he tries to hide it, and Demyan has a control on things. Lily seems like she's doing well even though she tends to follow Demyan everywhere. Angelo seems to be in control of his emotions, that or he's just distracting himself with all the hacking he's been doing. I don't really know how Elise is doing, she barely talks to me," Ayame said looking over at Kayla. "And hey, you can just say you're a vampire. You got the looks for it," She said giving her a wink.
Kayla giggled a bit. "I wish…I'd rather have the impulse to drink blood rather than tear out throats and erm… something else," she said blushing, looking downwards. "And what would that be?" Ayame asked interested, leaning forward. Kayla whispered into her ear and Ayame's cheeks lit up red. "O-Oh wow…" she said shifting around. "Well, maybe I could help… later…" Ayame said giving her a wink.
4:32pm July 3rd, 2010, Frostfire Abandoned Base
Angelo walked into what had been converted into a living room complete with multiple couches and a giant TV. "Hey, Demyan, you in here!?" he shouted only to be shushed. Sitting on the middle couch with a sleeping Lily nuzzled up to him was Demyan. He sighed. "I really gotta figure out how to shake this kid. I've been stuck here for 2 hours now," he said looking down at her. "Why don't you just wake her up?" Angelo asked.
"I'm rebel, thug at worst, not an asshole. It'd be like kicking a puppy," Demyan said looking over at Angelo. "What about you Kotaku? Shouldn't you be reading the latest game articles? Or hacking into the government?" he added. "I used my powers to setup an alert for major game news or news towards stuff I've been watching, and I've already fully downloaded the entire database of every major organization I could think of that would have information on our parents," Angelo said shrugging. "Anyway, I think we need to make another food run. We're almost out." Demyan sighed, "When princess here wakes up we'll go hit another supermarket. Hopefully this time I won't need to beat up some X-men."
9:15pm July 3rd, 2010, Frostfire Abandoned Base
Demyan, Angelo, Elise and Lily were standing outside the back of a supermarket. "Where's Pyro and Sparkles?" Demyan asked. "They both said they had stuff to do tonight, but don't worry, I've already disabled the cameras, alarms and cell service for the entire store and pretty much the entire surrounding area. Back doors are unlocked. Thank you electronic locks. And I'm ready to shut off the lights of everywhere except where we are," Angelo said with a grin. "Okay, I've mapped out the entire storage area and marked areas for important food we need. Grab it and anything else you like," Elise said handing out maps. "Shut 'em off Sparky," Demyan said as his skin became red and a spiked tail fell out along with his legs becoming longer and bending his shoes ripping apart as flat almost claw-like feet formed.
Demyan took off at high speed, going much faster than normal. "God, I'd love to know what his powers actually are, like what are those things he turns into?" Angelo said as he did research on the side. "Focus on it later, food is needed to figure it out," Elise said as she went in after him Lily and Angelo following.
2:13am July 4th, 2010 Frostfire Abandoned Base
"Haha! That went off without a hitch!" Demyan said walking in, carrying a box of food as he was followed by various floating boxes as he walked over into the kitchen and the food began to float out into the fridges and cabinets. When he heard a shriek from down in the cell areas, Demyan ran down the stairs his skin taking a blue tint as four horns formed out of his forehead, two twisting downwards and around and the other two going straight forwards. Spikes also came out of his arms as a spiked tail fell out from under his shirt and his eyes lost their iris.
But when he arrived he found Angelo with a shocked face as he looked over to see Ayame and Kayla in the same bed covering each other with a blanket. "What's going on," Demyan growled showing off various sets of sharp teeth. As they talked Demyan slowly turned back to normal. "Well…Kayla told me how ever since she's unlocked her powers she's been having urges…and since I'm a lesbian and she's bisexual I figured if I helped her it'd be a win-win. And then Angelo walked in on us," Ayame said. Completely ignoring the situation Angelo entered the room. "You're a bisexual!? Cool! So am I!" he said happily, excited to find someone that shared his sexuality. Demyan sighed walking over to his designated cell/room. "I'm going to sleep" he said.
The entire base was awoken by screaming. Demyan shot up recognizing the scream. He ran out of the cell starting to shift. His skin became green and scaly, two horns coming out of his forehead as his nails receded, claws coming out of his fingertips. A lizard-like tail forming out above his waist, various spikes came out of his back and arms but due to his lack of shirt they didn't rip any fabric, but his jeans ripped and tore as his legs changed, his feet becoming reptile-like fusing his toes together as they then spilt into 2 large separate toes with a large claw coming out of each and his back heel forming into a 3rd backwards toe with its own claw. "I'M COMING LILY!" he shouted with an primal roar as he hurried up the steps to find Lily with a dropped bowl of ice cream and a SWAT member pointing a gun at her.
"GET AWAY FROM HER!" Demyan yelled with anger as he charged the SWAT member. Out of fear he unloaded his M4 Carbine into Demyan, but the bullets merely collided with Demyan's skin being crushed by their own force and falling to the ground. "I'M GOING TO RIP YOU APART!" Demyan yelled his voice becoming more primal and bloodthirsty with every word. He then became under fire by various other SWAT that had entered. Demyan was merely slowed slightly by their guns. "Captain! It's not working!" a man entered the room wearing a long brown trench-coat over a black suit with a red tie. He had short-cropped Ivy-league hair that was dark brown and his eyes were dark brown. He looked down at Demyan and sighed, lifting up his hands as his eyes became bright purple, bullets flowing out of an ammo pact under his jacket with a purple glow around them spinning around his arms.
"Sorry to do this kid," the man said before flicking his arm at Demyan, the bullets firing at high speed exploding on contact. This shot Demyan back but he merely stood up, growling as wounds quickly healed and more spikes appeared as his hair receded and his body shifted more becoming larger. This was when Ayame and the others finally entered the scene. Ayame quickly used her powers to heat up the guns in the SWAT member's possession, making them drop and any bullets to go off. "Uh guys…I think Demyan is doing that whole lose control and turn into a giant monster that will make our hide-out cave in thing," Angelo said, pointing over to him. "So what? The cops know about this place, we can't hide here anymore," Ayame said. Angelo merely sighed. "Kayla, can you like hold him off for 2 minutes? I need to download the databases," he said rushing to the computer room.
But it was much too late. Desperate to "save" the McIlroy girl, one of the SWAT members grabbed Lily while the one referred to as Captain fired more kinetic bullets at Demyan. This pushed him over the top as fully transformed. His full form was huge, even bigger than the last. His entire body was green with his horns extending upwards before bending forwards and then curving towards each other. He was standing on two hind legs which each had a pair of three toes with long claws coming out of them in the front and one toe in the back doing the same. His hands were similar, although he wasn't using them to stand up. His head was extended into a large snout and he had various sets of teeth with two large front teeth taking presence on the top part of his mouth on either side of the snout. His eyes were completely yellow without any sort of iris, and his tail had extended at least 10x and was thrashing around, destroying the landscape. Kayla had managed to grab all the kids, carrying them out of the rubble as Demyan let out a blood-curdling roar.
"What do we do!?" Kayla yelled, unsure if they could reason with Demyan in this form. "Fly!" Lily yelled pointing away from them. "Demmy will find us later. I setup a way for him to track us anywhere we go in case any of us were taken!" Lily said happily. "You came up with that all by yourself?" Elise asked. but Lily shook her head. "Demmy thought of it," she said with a smile. "Can you do anything to keep him from well…destroying the city?" Elise asked. Lily nodded holding up her arms as arcane symbols glowed on her as magic circles appeared in the air as a mark appeared on Demyan glowing gold. Suddenly he turned, taking off for the ocean. "What did you do?" they asked unanimously. "I'm not sure exactly how to describe it, but…I guess I did a magic spell to make him go somewhere away from buildings." They laughed slightly. "Of course…so obvious…" Elise said before Kayla flew off.
The man in the trench coat stepped out of the rubble followed by various SWAT members. He took out a lighter and lit a cigarette looking up at the night sky. "Captain Smith, everyone's accounted for," a SWAT member reported. He nodded. "Yeah…Say…did you see a burst of flame when the building started coming down?" Smith asked. The man paused a second before nodding. "The girl with the flame powers saved us…and the big monster guy seemed very protective of the little girl. I think there's a bigger picture here," he said finishing his cigarette.
5:32am July 4th, 2010, Outskirts, Beach
Demyan slowly walked out of the ocean onto the beach, his skin turning back to normal as he looked down at his naked body sighing. He looked around before finding a camp with sleeping campers. He went through their bags before finding some clothes to wear. He then looked around and sighed before blinking. "Semita Lily," he said before opening his eyes. They were glowing gold as he saw various swirly golden arrows appear guiding him. He grinned and began walking.
9:34am July 4th, 2010, Police HQ
The various parents were in the Chief of Police office with the Chief of Police and Captain Smith. "THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! THIS RAYMOND SMITH ALMOST KILLED OUR CHILDERN!" they yelled. Raymond merely sighed. "We were trying to rescue Miss McIlroy, the young girl your kids kidnapped! Don't go acting high and mighty here, your children are criminals and they're the ones that brought down the place. The red-head probably would've tore apart the entire city if he didn't disappear towards the ocean." Raymond said annoyed with this whole thing.
"AND WHY AREN'T YOU OUT SEARCHING FOR HIM?!" Demyan's mother demanded. "We are, the Guard is looking for him right now in the ocean and the beaches. And I'd be coordinating the city search for the rest of the kids if you people weren't so inclined to throw a fit because the kids you couldn't control are out of control," Raymond snapped. "That's enough Captain! Return to your desk, I'll talk to you later," the chief said before smiling. Raymond nearly vomited at the kissing-up he heard as he walked out the door.
2:45pm July 4th, 2010, Abandoned Warehouse
Demyan opened the door to the warehouse, following shortly by Lily rushing over to him and hugging him, refusing to let go. "I guess I lost it again," Demyan said, looking around the giant warehouse. "Why did we pick this dump?" he asked, only to see wicked smiles on his friends. "We're going to train, get a better grab on our powers, and since Ayame has the power of a god and you turn into Godzilla this place is the best area to train un-detected. Due to the ships and trucks any sound will be drowned out, and with a thousand identical warehouses around, it'll be a while before the police checks," Elise said with a proud smile. "Whatever, but I need to sleep. I walked here all the way from the north beach," he said walking off with Lily following him.
