Disclaimer: I still don't own rights to City of Heroes.
A/N: Sorry if the name switching is confusing. I'm referring to the characters by their real names when not in costume, so Gigablitz Jameson Valatan in the hideout, etc..
A/N 2: Kaon Bloodclaw, Kael Fangblade and Aurora Nekodie don't have different Normal/Super names.
Jameson was woken up unexpectedly by a shriek followed by several loud metallic smashing sounds.
"Oops! Better get this cleaned up before-" she paused, for the subject of her worries just stepped through the doorway. "Jamie...hi...rise and shine, huh?" She said, smiling. Not a normal smile, though, one of those smiles little kids use when they did something bad.
"Do you have to make such a racket in here? What're you doing anyways?" He yawned.
Violet put the pots and pans to their respective places and turned to face Jamie. "I was just trying to cook breakfast...but I guess I'm a little clumsy..hehe!" Jamie did nothing but continue to stare at her with an annoyed look. "Umm...I'm gonna go for a walk now.."
As she exited the hideout, she looked from side to side to look for any villains she could try to take down on her own. Nothing was in sight, so she strode on.
"Hey! This our home! No silly heroes!" Moonslash jumped when she heard this being said. The voice belonged to a troll, a Caliban to be exact.
"You should really take an english class!" She called as she summoned up her weapons, and four tenebrous spears lifted themselves into the air and were launched like missles toward the green man. The spears seemed to be absorbed by his thick troll skin. Moonslash was getting worried by now.
"Ha, ha! That tickle!" The troll laughed as he ripped a wrecked television set from the ground and hurled it with super strength towards her. Moonslash conjured up a dark barricade and melted the TV within its depths. The Caliban was furious and charged at her, yelling, "I smash you to bits! Your bones dust!"
Moonslash flew into the air and hovered near the head of a loose statue. "I hope this works..." she murmured and started to push the statue forward. The troll looked confused, as the statue was slowly leaning towards him. "Just a bit more..and...gotcha!" She said to herself as the statue fell on him, locking him underneath.
"Me hate you! Me hate you!" The troll cried as he struggled to get out from his prison. Moonslash only laughed as she walked off and left him under there. A few minutes after, her cellphone rang.
"Hello?" She said.
"Hey sis, how much have you learned about him? We need as much info as we can get." A voice spoke through a cell phone to the girl.
"Not much. All he's told me is his name. Jameson Valatan. Perhaps we could use that to his advantage? Also, I have a troll spying on his hideout in Boomtown. He'll tell me if anything happens, sir."
The woman on the other end of the line sighed. "Alright. Tell me if you can get any more information out of him. Make sure he isn't suspicious about you...we don't need any more attention than we already have. Especially from those hero types. Kael and I will cause a distraction in Steel Canyon this afternoon so you can sneak around his place and grab anything that'll tell us something about him. Later, sis."
Moonslash replaced her cellphone in her pocket. "If I'm going to find anything in there..I'll need to stay there while Gigablitz goes after Kael and Aurora...I know! I'll just say I hurt myself fighting some trolls and I need some time to rest." She thought as she summoned a sword of darkness and cut her arm.
Moonslash arrived at the hideout and changed into a pair of shorts and a T-shirt, and lay down on her bed to 'rest'.
"Are you ok, Violet? You look pretty hurt." Jamie said, sitting down next to her.
"I was fighting some trolls, one of them got my arm."
Jamie's phone rang, again. "Hello?"
"Hey man. There's some villains in Steel Canyon, Aurora Nekodie and that Fangblade guy. I'm gonna need some backup." The blaster, Kyyjik explained.
"Those two, again?" Jamie sighed. "Alright. Be right down." He put the phone on the counter and went to his room to get in costume. "Hey, Violet, gotta head to Steel Canyon to stop some villains with Kyyjik. I'm gonna let you stay here, be back soon."
"Okay! Bye!" She called to him as he sped out the door. "Hehehe...time for some snoopin'.." Violet whispered to herself as she crept over to Jamie's room.
Kyyjik was holding his own against the villain duo, but couldn't damage them enough to hurt them. Most of his costume was ripped, leaving bits of skin exposed around his chest, and his hood was almost torn off. "Oh, finally you get here! These losers have been beating me for a while now."
Gigablitz landed next to Kyyjik. "You two again? Sheesh. How many times do I have to beat you to knock some sense into your heads?" He shook his head and laughed.
"This time, we're the ones who'll win this time!" Aurora cried as she leapt into action knocking Gigablitz back with a Crane Kick, followed by a deadly Eagle's Claw.
"Gah..you've definetly gotten stronger." Gigablitz said as he got up, dizzy from the kick. He shook it off and produced a field of lightning around himself and sent it spiralling towards her. The energy immobilized her in a ring of lightning, and was constantly sending bursts of electricity into her body, leaving her writhing in pain, unable to do anything but scream. "And now for the finishing touch..." Gigablitz snickered as he charged up his fists, coating them in pure energy. He flew towards Aurora and leapt into the air, and brought both fists down upon her, knocking her down unto the ground.
Kael Fangblade noticed Aurora being hurt so badly, but couldn't do anything to help her thanks to the focused energy beams of Kyyjik. "I'll finish you later!" Kael called as he threw down a smoke bomb and ran to help his partner. "Don't...hurt..her!" He whispered as he stabbed Gigablitz with his katana. Gigablitz groaned and sent lightning pulsing through the sword and into Fangblade's hand.
"Why does this always happen to me?" Gigablitz sighed as he pulled the katana out of his armor and threw it into a wall with extreme force, shattering it.
"You'll pay for that, Gigablitz!" Aurora said as she recovered from the lightning field and tripped Gigablitz, following it up by knocking him back up into the air before he even hit the ground in the first place. "And as for you," she murmured as she turned towards Kyyjik, "don't think you'll be going home just yet!" Kyyjik tried to evade her attacks, but to no avail. She knocked him into the wall and proceeded to hit him repeatedly. While all this was happening, Gigablitz was laying on the ground, unconscious. Kyyjik followed, leaving the heroes defeated.
"Hah. Heroes nothin'." Kael laughed as he left with Aurora to Independance Port.
"Wow..Jamie sure has a lot of...weird..stuff." Violet thought as she rummaged through Jamie's room, finding odd technological devices that she had no idea as to what their purpose was. After tedious minutes of throwing stuff out of the way, Violet found a book labeled 'Jamie's Hero Album'. She opened the book and the first two pages were covered in pictures of Jamie working at D.A.T.A, and a picture of the first PPD Mech he made. "This'll be useful for getting info.." She thought as she started cleaning up the room and started to make her way to Independence Port.
Aurora was tapping her foot on the ground while she waited for her sister, and Kael was sitting on a bench playing his Gameboy. Both of them were wearing their normal clothes, as to not attract attention. "When's your sister gonna get here? I'm tired of waiting, and besides, I think that cop is watching us.."
"Don't worry, she'll be here soon...I hope." Aurora sighed and sat down next to him.
Moonslash was just entering Independence Port when she heard a civilian cry for help. She rolled her eyes and decided to help the man. She created a large bow and arrow of miasma and shot it at the gangsters terrorizing the pedestrian. They were defeated immediately, and the man ran up to her to thank her, but she flew away before he could say anything. Moonslash landed next to her sister and handed her the album.
"What's this?" Aurora asked.
"It's his album of hero-history. Has pictures of his work at D.A.T.A, pictures that show his weaknesses, his strengths, all that crap." Moonslash leapt into the air and hovered there. "I'd better be getting back to the hideout before Jamie gets there. Later, sis! Later, Kael!"
Jamie trudged into his hideout and fell on the couch. He noticed that Violet was nowhere to be seen, so he decided to go to his room, and that's when he found her, sleeping in his bed. He sighed, and picked her up to carry her to her bed. As soon as he put her down, he fell asleep, half on the bed.
"Jamie. We've been through a lot and all, but unless I do this, the Atlas Statue goes 'kerploof'. And if Atlas falls, more or less anything and anybody in the vicinity gets crushed." Lunablade said as she put her foot on Gigablitz's cheek. "I like you and all, but my sister wants you dead. She'd kill you herself, but she's busy backstabbing Kaon Bloodclaw. Kael could, but he's taking care of the bomb wiring around Atlas Park. The whole place is rigged to explode." She took her foot away and glanced at the sea below the boat. "Now, should I kill you outright, torture you, or short you out and throw you in the water? So many options! I know..." She said as she took a couple of firebombs and placed them around Gigablitz. "Just to make sure you don't escape, I'll stay here with you."
"But you'll be blown up, too! Are you crazy? You have better things to do than blow yourself up! Besides, where am I going to go? We're in the middle of the ocean, and I can't fly along water without shorting out and drowning.
"Oh, I'm not staying here to make sure you go away..." She muttered as the chained herself to him with miasma and hugged him. Gigablitz was confused. "If I have to kill you, I'm going down too." She said, looking into his eyes.
"Umm..that's..nice of you..."
"You are SO naive!" She cried as she teleported to the far end of the ship just as the firebombs were activated. "Too bad..he was cute." She snickered as she flew away.
Jamie woke up with a shudder. " Wow..what a dream.." He thought to himself, looking at the girl sleeping in the bed next to him. "Could she actually be? No..she couldn't. It was a dream. A nightmare. No more supervillains before bed.." He murmured as he walked to the kitchen to get himself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
"Good...if I let him in on the plot piece by piece, he'll get it." Violet whispered as she watched Jamie eat his snack.
