He created a weather machine that could send his Nanobots into the atmosphere and Make every superhero into his own slaves. His machine worked and took over every super hero expect the one's who's powers hadn't developed yet. He wants to take over the world but there are still a few in his way that can take him out. Are there any hero's any more?




A young boy stood over looking the city of New york,His dark red eyes priced the night and is jet black hair could only be seen in the moonlight, This boys name was Keith but he was known by another name. This name was known trough out the world as Shadow, He was the newest in a line of hero's awakened by the Nanostorm. As he looked down he saw three men in dark uniforms going into a jewelry store. All of the sudden his body was covered in a dark suit that lay under the surface of his skin. He jumped down the side of the building and his body changed into pure shadow. There was no sound as he moved over the ground unseen by mortal eyes, He moved behind the three men who were attempting to steal from the store. " I wouldn't do that if i was you" The man nearest to him tuned to hit him and he grabbed his arm throwing him over his shoulder. The other men turned to shoot him and the bullets passed trough his shadowy form. " Now you've done it." He flicked his hand and fired a powerful burst of shadow energy at the two men sending the men flying into the street. " You should of listened to me!" He said flying off into the night as a shadow of justice.

In the shadows, where Shadow was dissapearing, stood a metal statue, a moving statue. The statue grabbed Keith. "Is that your form of justice, kid?" He shouted, throwing Shadow into the ground with his superior strength. "Learn a few things, Spawn-look-a-like." He said, snorting and walking to the goons, who were recovering and dashing off with bags of jewels. In seconds the powerful statue had a grip on the necks of the two men who were retreating, the third still groaning in pain from being flipped by Shadow. His wrist flicked, and a gruesome snapping noise could be heard throughout the night as the two bodies fell limp, and the statue sped off, dissapearing after a few moments, his body turning back to what he really was, a misunderstood hero. The boy glanced back, now on a roof-top, his speed had give him the ability to scale the building with great speed. His past was in this town, but those damned Nanobots had stolen his memory, yet, everytime he saw Shadow, he thought a feeling of familiraty would pass over him, a look of knowing (Although he didn't know) would pass through his eyes.

Lance drove down the busy streets of New York. His guitar on the passenger seat. While he was driving he noticed a couple of suspicious guys following a lady down an alley. He stopped before the alley and watched. He could no longer wait and watch as they approached the woman. Quickly he reached behind his seat and grab his gear. Lance put the blue bandanna around his mouth. Then he put his blue cap on backwards. Lance grabbed his guitar and ran into the alley.

He stood a ways back and played a couple chords to get their attention. The two men and the lady they had a hold of all look in his direction. "Who the hell are you!" one of the men said almost angrily.Lance played a couple more chords.

"You can call me The Blues!"He stated Loudly.

"You'll be singing soon!" said the other. "Lets get him!"He said to his partner. They let go of the lady who quickly ran off. The thugs soon were coming towards him. The Blues quickly played a few high notes. As he played the notes a strong force came from him and towards the thugs. "Yeah just play your stupid banjo." one thug said before they both flew back against the alley wall. Only one was out so the blues walked up to the other.

"It's a guitar!" The Blues said as he hit the thug with it. The Blues soon took off. He Jumped in the van and quickly speed off.

He was surprised that the guy garbed him. He was tossed but he didn't hit the ground , His shadowy form went trough the ground and came out beside the guy. " You know, you could of asked me to step out of the way." He sad as his suit scanned him and made a profile for him. The suite had adapted to his speed and power and could now counter it. He loved his suit, it was made of the Nanobots that attacked him months ago. " its been a few good weeks since i have seen you around, What have you been up to?" He asked the older boy. The older boys powers were more developed then his but there was huge gap in between there control. Shadow had complete control of every shadow in the city, his power was unmatched at night. His suite picked up the slack that his body could not, Giving him
strength according to his opponents, Speeds, Defenses , and powers. It gave him up to date info on his opponents abilities due to its up link with the Darkness's Nanobots.

Sandals slapped silently against the asphalt, a heavy breath, currently smelling of tobacco, drew in the slowly burning cigarette lighting the darkened alleyway in which Mike walked. Despite the dirty smell of old trash and stray cats, the hidden hero found comfort in these narrow quarters. A reminder that not everywhere was crime-ridden. He had just recently came back from rescueing a poor girl from being abducted, a constant event now that the big heros were corrupt now. Mike sighed inwardly "I just wish the world would go back to the way it was.", The young adult muttered. A scream echoed in from the street towards him, and Mike increased his stride shadows passing over him in flashes. He approached the street, noticed a newly formed gang chasing after several high-school girls, and flicked aside the smoking remains of the cigarette. A flash of flame and Pyronis appeared, "Afterburners" He growled and twin balls of flames appeared under his feet lifting him several inch's off the ground. In a small explosion he sped into the group (Smashing the lead figure into the building while he was at it) and glanced at the girls. "Run." he said.

Pyronis could hear the sharp rap of shoes as they obeyed, more out of fear then relief, and with a deliberately slow turn, The burning hero faced the gang. He said nothing, and watched with amusement as they mentally debated wether to fight or not. The sharp small of urine stung the air suddenly causing several to grimice in disgust and step further away from now exposed man. Still Pyronis said nothing, instead he grinned a cocky grin and motioned for them to try it. A minute later Mike stepped out from the alleyway and lit a cigarette eyeing the pile of unconscious bodies with disapproval. They would live, even with the burns they gained, the smashed guy would move if he went to rehab. All in all nobody died, Mike pulled out one of their cell phones and called the ambulance, then strode away a trail of smoke following after him.

Megumi Crow

Megumi walked along the busy roads of new york city. Every two steps the pink haired girl took, she had to look at the watch she had on her wrist. Damn it... She thought to herself. Keith's ganna get pissed again. Some side kick you are Meme. She rolled her eyes at her own annoyance. The young woman always a hard time being on time for meetings and gatherings.

She walked --rushing-- to find her "hero" as she called him. Her eyes scanned each shadow she passed as if it would give her a sign he was close. She held her sketch book close to her chest as she continued her search. That sketch book was her only and greatest weapon, at some point she could be untouchable with it. But she made a commitment before she followed the life of a hero , that she'll never use her own power for her own selfish ways --unless she needed it of course.

A sudden sound came to her ears. The sound of a few teenage girls screaming from the distance. She ran fast to the direction of the screams pulling out the black piece of cloth that hid her identity. She tied it around her eyes as she came close to the scene. "Don't....never mind...." She said in a slightly annoyed tone.

She already saw the flamed hero in the ally. She shivered at the sight of the fire. She held the brand mark at the back of her neck as she saw Pyronis. "You could have at least saved me some action." Dark Light said sighing. Once again she was too late to help another life.

Smoke drifted slowly as Mike paused in his travels and turned to face Shadow's sidekick "Well then i apologize for not restraining myself." A pause as the now hidden hero took a drag from his cigarette " Had i known you were close by; i would have contacted you before striking." He flashed a small grin at Dark Light and continued on intent on the small coffee shop he spotted in the distance. Mike paused for a second after taking a step then turned back towards Dark Light, "Want some coffee?" he asked "After you change back of course."

Jace otherwise kown as Phantom Strike over looked the city at his roof top. He claimed it. It was his. No one could take his roof top. He thought with a smile as he looked out. The city was peaceful but thats what you get when you have a couple dozen heroes in one city he thought with a sigh. He stood up and stretched hoping in place. He neeeeeeeded some action! He looked from roof to roof and then down at the alleys. Nothing was happening. He scanned the windows of the apartments and saw a young child staring up at him. Jace stood and did his coolest super hero pose as the kid smiled. Then a door slammed behind him as the kid spun quickly. It was an older man, his father Jace assumed. The kid jumped into his fathers arms as Jace smiled. He pulled his dad to the window to see Jace but Jace was already gone.

Jumping off his roof he looked about and flipped onto a ledge underneath him landing silently. Now how could I miss this? Jace thought tilting his head as he looked at the alley next to his roof. It must have been cause Jace thought no one was stupid enough to do a drug deal right outside his roof. Jace smiled and leaped forward flipping back. Flying down Jace tried to think of a cool catch phrase to say. Not thinking of anything jace racked his mind until without thinking he hit the ground. Hard.

The two goons jumped away in surprise as Jace stood. Owwww that smarts he thought as he stood and looked at himself. His arm was bent at an odd angle. That was not his most graceful landing he thought as he popped his arm into place and the damage began to heal. The goons were looking at him in awe. Jace smiled inwardly, he had there attention and he had thought of a wicked cool catch phrase. "Lsfiwunhiaqp!" Jace said. Wait...he thought. He reached up to his mouth. His lower jaw was almost completely dislocated from his top jaw the mask pretty much the only thing holding it together. Jace grabbed his jaw and set it too. The goons started running."Damn now the moments ruined!" he thought as he pulled out his gun and shot both of them in the legs with quick shots.One of them turned around."What is this?! Heroes dont use guns!" Jace walked up to him "Well I guess that would mean im...not your average hero" Jace looked out at everyone reading this post and then back at the goons."And dont worry I wont kill you I only kill the REAL bad guys. You guys get to go to jail" Jace tied up the two goons and set a dozen fireworks behind them and lit them calling the cops. "Hey druggies on 5th and Everest look for the fireworks and the guy screaming for his mommy" Jace smiled and then ran off as the goons screamed. There were more heroic deeds to be done! And JAce would find them! Or get tired and go home and see his dogs whatever came first.

Dark Light

Darklight rolled her eyes fro a moment. "Well I guess I frorgive you." SHe said in lighter tone as she tried hard not to make a face as he took a drag form the deadly stick. ANything that involved smoke gave her the chills. It was strange but somehow it gave her a chill down her spine.

She stuck her tongue out at the hero when he turned away but then quickly relaxed her face when he looked back at her. "Want some coffee?" He asked her. "After you change back of course." she thought about it for a moment looking back at her watch. It was a little hard to see what time it was pointing but from all the experience with the blind fold she was able to tell what time it was.

"Well, Shadow might be waiting for me..." She said in a hesitated tone. "But knowing him he probably started having fun without me." She looked up at him with a smile. "Alright, why not." She held her sketchpad between her chest and chin and untied the black cloth being sure no one saw her. She neatly folded the cloth and tucked it in her pocket. Her different colored eyes looked at the man.

"No one saw me right?"

Clownface was hanging out where he was normally seen. An old abandoned carnival near the outside of the city, he loved this place since it was like his second home when he was a little kid. Now the carnival was just a home for hobo's and small time theifs who didn't have a place to stay really. Clownface never bothered with the theifs since he knew they wern't any real threat, he always went for the bigger criminals. He was sitting underneath the ferris wheel with a joint in his hand. He took one long hit than threw it out and headed out of the carnival. He was high right now and that was his favorite time to be Clownface since he could have to most fun with it. Before he reached the entrence he grabbed his hatchet then headed out the exit.

He walked threw the city looking at all the new shapes and colors that he was seeing. If this was a normal time anyone would call the cops on a guy with his face painted like a clown who was high and walking around with a hatchet, but this wasn't a normal time, crime pretty much ran the city ever since all the "real" superhero's switched sides. He walked threw the allyways trying to find something to do or someone to beat up, but he was so high even a cat looked weird so he didn't know what was real or just a hallucination.

Mike chuckled "Apart from us and the pile of living corpses no one saw you change." He stubbed the cigarette out using the wall and continued on intent on getting some coffee into him. In a short time they arrived and stepped into the short line. "How's Shadow doing?" Mike asked quietly "I've heard the former heros were now moving to stop us" He thought back when he encountered one, the destruction they left behind was enough proof that Pyronis had to go all out against him. He was concerned about what was about to happen next, the hero population was just beginning to build back up, and now the big one is insuring he was still in control.

Megumi sighed in relief. Unlike other heroes, she couldn't risk others seeing her eyes. They were like her ID, once you see her eyes, her identity would be obvious. She looked back at the two burnt bodies and she shivered. "You didn't have to burn them to a crisp you know." She said feeling a little sorry for them. "Just a little kick to the crotch and they'll be down for the count." She rolled her eyes.

She followed Mike into the small coffee shop. "Ah well, Shadow's being shadow. Saving the world with out waiting for me." She rolled her eyes. "Oh yeah..I hear...you...don't...think...." Her atention was slowly taken away from Mike. From the clear glass window she could see a strange looking clown walking on the side walk holding a weapon. Her eyes squinted at the fissure.

She pointed at him. "Hey....isn't that...Clown Face?

SOLDIER arrived at the coffee-shop, where he normally met Xavier for his weekly meetings. Xavier wasn't there. SOLDIER was no longer SOLDIER, now he was Kumo Senshi again, his eyes were pine green once more, no longer the steely gray of SOLDIER. He smiled as he saw Megumi, Shadow's side-kick. If SOLDIER had a sidekick, the sidekick would probably go insane from lack of being used. "Dark Light." He said, a thin smile spreading on his lips.


She pointed at him. "Hey....isn't that...Clown Face?"

"Yep, he's the local weed-guy."

Kumo smiled. "Nice to see you again, Megumi." He said sincerely. He smiled again, and turned to Mike. "Hello, Pyronis. Yes, you know I recognize you both, it's all so damned easy." He said, winking at Megumi. Out came his flirtatious style.

Lance speed away from the scene.He ran through a red light. Then made an illegal left turn with no brakes through the light. After he felt he was safe he slowed down more and began to drive off. Lance was ready to help some one else when a small flash of fire erupted from an alley. He soon made his way to see it was only fireworks. Through the flashes he swore he saw a red figure. He passed only to see him where the figure stood.

Lance weaved through traffic to the end of the block. He made a right turn from the middle lane crossing in front of a sports car. As he tires screeching he was almost to the light. Signaling as he came to the street where he last saw the red glow off the suspected. He was almost to the alley. He parked, put his gear on, and grabbed his guitar. The Blues ran towards the alley. Paces away and he swore he could make out a red silhouette through the dark street.

The Blues got forced to the ground. His guitar making a thud noise as it hit the ground. He looked up from the ground to see some one kick him. He was dressed like the other thugs from before. Matching jackets or something. "Yeah thats him!"said the thug who he hit with the guitar. The Blues took another kick. He couldn't help, but laugh.The fresh thug stopped and looked down."What!"

"You sure are stupid," He sure was he had the look on his face then."You really believe these thugs will tell you truth."Befrore any thing else could be said he played a few deep cords.

Megumi Crow

Megumi tilted her head to the side as she looked at the high clown. "I never under stood what he is..." She said thinking aloud. "Some one should take that thing away from him before he hurts another cat." She said rolling her eyes for a second. One of Dark Light's bad Qualities is saying something but never actually doing what she said she would do. One of the down sides of being a young Sidekick.

She smirked a little at Kumo. "And I suppose it would be my pleasure to see you again Kumo." She said rolling her eyes at him. Being a tough woman she always loved to play hard to get with any man. She stuck her tongue out at the flirting man. "Aren't you suppose to be rescuing another damsel in distress?"

"Should you really be calling us by our hero names in public?" Mike asked "As easy as it is for you to recognize me i have no intentions of announcing to the world who i really am." He turned to the register and placed an order of hot coffee and whatever Megumi wanted, then turned back towards Kumo, "Did you want anything?" He asked "Since your here i might as well buy you coffee, oh and give me a small blueberry muffin please." Mike added turning back towards the register. He saw the lady nod in reply and Mike grinned at the two heros "It is good to see that your still fine Kumo, i'd hate to see more heros fall under the influence of the Darkness."

Clownface continued to walk threw the ally way, there was some blood on his hatchet from a raccoon that he had run into. He thought that it was a lot bigger than it was and that was really the only reason that he even killed it. His stomach was growling now since his high was starting to wear off and he was getting the munchies. "Need to find some food." He said to himself as he looked around not realizing that there was a coffee shop in front of him. He rubbed his stomach and then realized that he was infront of the coffee shop. He took a step and the sound of crunching bones appeared from under his foot. He hadn't realized till now that the raccoon he had killed he also stepped in and its dead body was now stuck to his foot. Shaking his foot the dead raccoon fell off and he continued to walk.

When he finally got in the coffee shop he noticed a few other people that looked kinda familer but he couldn't figure out where he knew them from. He walked up to the counter and was staring at all the food that they had on display. "Hey buddy, you gonna buy something." The guy working behind the counter shop asked him. "what... oh yea... well I dont got any money.... soooo yeah..." He said as the guy looked at him. "Then just go sit down since you can't buy something or get out..." He said annoyed. Clownface shook his head and walked over to a chair and sat down. His face paint was smeared a little bit but you could still make out all the different shapes on his face.

Phantom Strike looked around sniffing the air. He couldnt find any evil. It was a verrrrrry slow night. Jace sat down on a bench near a cafe and leaned back. There was a time when Jace had a real fun tme fighting evil. He realized what he needed. A super hero of old to come back. That would be a challenge. Jace smiled under his mask as his thoughts turned to Bea Arthur out of nowhere. Jace smiled again. No on loves you like I do Bea he thought. A noise to his left made him draw his gun. He looked over and saw two big guys arguing with each other. Jace put his guns away and listened. They were down he street but Jace could hear them like they were right next to him.

"We gotta do it tonight! Its when security will be the least heavy. Im telling you Ive Scoped this place for weeks!" The bigger one with the Don Juan accent said."No we need to wait and scope the security systems more" the one with the Kevin Grevioux accent said.(For those of you who dont know Kevin Grevioux was the black werewolf from rise of the lycans Jace thought staring at the audience) Jac stood and skipped over to the two men happily smiling under his mask. "Then lets go quickly theres a chance we can scope out the tech and still get it done tonight" Don Juan said quickly as Kevin Grevioux and him headed toward Phantom Srike. Jace stopped in front of them with a suoer hero pose and said loudly. "Fight me villains!" They looked at each othr and laughed shaking theyr heads. "Get out of our way"Kevin Grevioux said."We dont have time to deal with you." Don Juan nodded. JAce puffed his chest."What scared? I figured to spineless worms like yourselves would tuck tail and run!" They looked at each other and then at Phantom Strike. "We dont have time for this and lucky for you cause we would have turned you into hamburger meat" Don Juan said as he came closer to him. Jace stepped toward Don Juan and then leaned close."Hey Don Juan have you ever played street fighter?" Don Juan leaned back"Don Juan? Wha-?" "SHORYUKEN!" Jace said as he uppercutted Don Juan with all his strength into the air. He landed with a crash on top of a car. Kevin Grevioux looked at him and pulled out a gun and shot at Jace "Who are you you freak?!" Jace dodged the bullet and landed in front of a fire hydrant crouching."My name is Phantom Strike and after im done whipping your @$$ tell your friends! I need more fights!". Jace said with a smile. Kevin Grevioux roared and shot at Jace again as he back fliipped lettngthe bullet hit the side of the fire hydrant. It ruptured and then water flew out at high speeds hitting Kevin Grevioux and sending him back into a wall knocking him unconcious. Jace stood his eyes wide. He didnt plan that. But... IT WAS SO COOL! Jace jumped into the air with a fist pump. He thought suddenly of an old proverb. You can throw a stone at a light pole trying to hit it a hundered times and miss but the second you aim to miss you hit it right on. Did that have anything to do with what happened? Jace nodded sure that it had. Jace stood as his stommach growled he was hunnngry. He looked around and saw a cafe and walked over to hit. God forgive them if they dont have a decent burger.

((LOL sorry havent been posting guys couldnt find the IC))

The Last Resort saw a fire hydrant burst open. He started to bend it and manipulate the water. He look over at Phantom Strikes general direction. "Hey where do you think youre going fool?" He continued to use the water and made a hand. The Last Resort picked up Phantom Strike with the water hand he made. "How many times have I told you not to mess with the criminals. This is my turf, I protect it and dont interfere." He used the fist to throw him in the air and raised up a rock plate. Phantom Shadow fell on the rock plate not so softly. Walked over and flick a small flame out of his finger and held it to his face. "How many times do I have to make this clear? The crime in this area is mine!" He lit Phantoms Shadow costume on fire.

Jace sighed as he heard Resort coming up behind him. Man this guy was a buzz killllllll. He kept walking until he felt a hand surround him. Oh god dammit! he thought. He hated it when he used his powers on him and he knew it. "Well you know if you didnt have your head in everyones elses then you wouldve noticed and i wouldnt have had to clean up your mess" jace said with a sneer. When he hit the rock plate he sighed and then when he walked to him Jace snarled behind his mask. When he felt the flames Jace jumped up and pulled his costume off of him leaving his spare on. "Dammit Resort! Is now the time to fight between ourselves? When we have the heroes of old breathing down our neck. Jace shook his head."You need to grow up resort."jace snarled into Resorts face and then smiled."Man i dont do serious well"he laughed and turned walking away."My bad Resort i promise not to stop crimes in your sector anymore Now if youll excuse me I have a date with a chesseburger"
