ā€œThat was A little bit of harmony by the Seven Numbers, Iā€™m your host, Kayle Tallion and wanting to let you know that the tunes are just going to keep playing reliably like old faithful. Iā€™m here to give you beats to listen to at work to liven up what could potentially be a dull day. Not to mention, coming up weā€™ll be taking calls for a chance to win two tickets to Ozzy Osbourne's concert as part of his last tour, which will be taking you all the way to Las Vegas. Thatā€™s right people, a chance to visit the city of sin with accommodations paid for and a free pass to go and indulge in all the things that make that city great. So stay tuned, that will be coming up in a bit. In the meantime, hereā€™s Iā€™m not here by The Mediocre Truth.ā€ Kayle saw the light in the studio go off as he looked at the window, there Melissa sat with a thumbs up as she pressed a number of buttons on her panel.

Kayle took the time to start looking through his notes which were scattered all over the table. He had to get the questions for the call in contest as well as make sure the tickets would be available. Plus the next break he would have to give a little news update to the people and so far a lot of these articles were small attacks, aside from the blackout which he had already covered this morning. Phillip would be talking about it again, his enthusiasm matching Melissaā€™s in a lot of ways concerning the parahumans. They always considered him an oddity, the fact that he wasnā€™t excited by people flying around with capes and causing mayhem with unthinkable powers. They did have a bet going for awhile that Kayle either was a cape or hadnā€™t triggered yet, but they let that drop after a year, finding something else to draw their attention.

Hmmmm, thereā€™s a bit here about the hospital requiring volunteers, Iā€™ll bring that up first next break we get. Kayleā€™s work phone buzzed with a couple of people texting in some accidents that he jotted down on a piece of paper for his next broadcast. Of course, there were a number of people texting in giving their opinion of the current song, but he largely ignored those. This wasnā€™t a ā€˜give us your opinionā€™ hour, mainly because he hated doing that. He would get stuck here for days on a single song if he truly went in depth with that kind of crap.

It was about halfway through the song when it started.

The air raid sirens started flaring to life and his phones lit up with the emergency warning system. He checked them for a second, his eyes darkening as he looked back at Melissa in the booth who had gone completely pale. ā€œKayle, we gotta go!ā€ She shouted through the glass, reaching for the door. Kayle got up, opening the door to the studio to catch her.

ā€œHead for the nearest shelter, Iā€™ll stay a bit longer and try to give the people some direction. Iā€™ll be right behind you.ā€ Melissa looked conflicted, looking back at her panel then back to Kayle, who had already pushed past her into the booth. Immediately he started flicking switches in order to bring the radio station back onto the air instead of the music. ā€œIā€™m not staying long, just want to make sure everyone knows where to go and how to get there. Do my part before cowering in fear.ā€ Kayle pushed Melissa towards the door, where everyone else in the building was already rushing towards. She hesitated again, but ultimately went through with the plan and made for the door. Kayle walked into the recording studio and sat down.

ā€œLadies and Gentlemen, this is not a drill. An Abhorrent attack is imminent and the capes around the town will need you to evacuate yourself and your loved ones to the closest shelter for your safety and theirs.ā€ Kayle pulled up the information on his work phone. ā€œThe locations of the shelters are as follows:ā€ Kayle listed off all the shelters, giving instructions as to how to get there as well, doing his best to relay police orders as they filtered into his phone at a crazy pace. When he felt he had said enough, he paused. ā€œI wish I could say everything was going to be ok, that weā€™re all going to make it through this but you know that would be a lie. All I can say is to take care of yourselves and those around you, weā€™re all in this together and if weā€™re going to see the other side weā€™re going to need to help each other. Stay calm, work together, and hopefully this will all be over soon. This is Kayle Tallion from 56.7 Kodiak...signing out.ā€ Kayle got up from his table, pocketing all the things he would need before walking out of the studio and into the observation booth to turn off the equipment.

He was one of the luckier people he supposed, considering his family was actually farther north of here, with enough distance that they shouldnā€™t be affected by the Abhorrent attack, meaning he could concentrate on the task at hand. His only regret would be that he wouldnā€™t have the chance to change, considering he didnā€™t want to ruin his blazer and polo shirt. Couldnā€™t be helped though, as he ran out the door, the shadow already covering his face as he met the crowd instantly once he was out the door. The streets were filled with people, abandoned cars and police doing their best to try and control the flow of the panic filled populace. Kayle took one look at it, gaining a few glances before chains formed from his back, impacted the ground and launched him into the air.

He threw himself across the city, keeping his chain impacts to buildings so as to not accidentally strike a civilian. His goal was to get to the HLA headquarters, where all the paranormals would be gathering to figure out what to do next. Kayle didnā€™t like the idea of working alongside villains, but he understood that many would be ā€˜heroesā€™ probably didnā€™t enjoy the idea of working alongside him either. As he got closer, he could see the crowd of capes standing around waiting for someone to start a briefing as police prevented people from pushing into the building. Kayle landed outside the cordon, since in order to land inside would require a concussive blast or to launch out with his chains, neither a good idea considering the circumstance. He pushed his way through the people, using his chains to bluntly move people aside and part them like the red sea.

The police saw him coming, but aside from a couple of sneers, let him pass into the throng of capes ready and waiting to fight the Abhorrent or help civilians in need. Kayle recognized a few faces, but now was not the time to be harboring grudges or trying to start a fight. He pushed those thoughts of brutally crushing these people into the back of his mind to focus on the bigger task at hand.

Fighting a god level beast.
