The Melancholy of the Shadow X-Men

"Meanwhile, its daytime in Ikebukuro. Me and Mikado are in class (college), going to a practice class. As we walk into the classroom, we find that the girl i bumped into the last time is up near the teacher"

Mikado: new girl?
Me: I think I've seen her face before...don't ask me why.
Mikado: We'll...she's certainly a looker, that's for sure
Me: You are the most perverted bastard ever
Mikado: Don't be that was Filipe-san
Me: And I've told you a thousands times you've gained the right to not use the damned -san anymore
Mikado: Sorry, sorry. I know it bothers you.

"Meanwhile, Yamairo is serving TOAA some food"

Yamairo: Any idea where the Jet guy is?
TOAA: NO clue. Unlike you, I wasn't able to pinpoint him. But there is a way to find him
Yamairo: What?
TOAA: We need you to find someone else...a kid named Harry Estevan. If I get Harry to activate his powers in enough degree to make the news or something, maybe Jet will be sparked. He's bound to be confused right now, and if he sees his natural enemy is here in this "world" as well, he may come after him
Yamairo: Alright then. Sounds like a plan. But, didn't you tell me earlier you didn't want anyone else from the so called "SXM" to know?
TOAA: That's my problem with this

(I'm gone for god knows how long and this is all that's happened?)

"As me and Mikado are leaving the classroom, the girl walks past them in a rush"

Me: Man, that girl sure if annoying...
Mikado: I'll say

"Elsewhere, another girl, is sitting in a parking lot, grabbing on to her phone"

(We would have proceeded forward, but sadly Chu isn't on much at the time. I pm'd him and he said he's been busy. He logs in to let us know he's around, but have been posting little. That's why the rp's hasn't moved along.)

*Troy has meanwhile gotten his gear together, and leaves the room he was in*

Troy: Move to a safe place, get some rest, then start the heist.

*Meanwhile a women is seen sitting at a outside table having dinner.*

"It's nighttime in Ikebukuro. The streets are still busy. The same girl from Filipe's class is heading down a dark alley, holding on to her cellphone. As she reaches the dead end, she turns around, and we see she's being chased by some thugs. On the roof near there, a man that looks like this: http://x09.xanga.com/5a4f75e773d32262950453/z209594595.jpg sits on the ledge and watches the events. On one hand, he also has a cellphone"

Man: Well...lets see if those rumors rider-san as been telling me are true...it would break the boredom this place has been in lately"

---

"Meanwhile, in NY, Milo and his crew are heading out to the car, on their way to intercept Benjamin. As they speed off, Milo takes a sharp turn. As fate would have it, on that corner, is none other than Harry. For a brief second, their eyes meet, but Milo speeds off. Milo does take a look at the rear view mirror as the car speeds on the streets"

Lucy: Hey Milo...what's up?
Milo: Nothing...just...a feeling of familiarity. Probably been drinking one two many beers
Lucy: Get your act together then

"Harry is left looking at Milo and the others speed off. As he turns to continue walking, he finds none other than TOAA and Yamairo. Yamairo is now dressed normally, but in comparison to his usual calm and collected self, he's very nervous on the streets, as if anxious, and is sticking close to TOAA"

TOAA: Hello...Harry
Harry: Do...I know you?
TOAA: You will in a second...

*As dinner is served to the girl at the table, a yong man soon walks up to her and drops a backpack by the table.*

Girl: Hey Shin, I thought you was never gonna show up.
Shin: Sorry Tanya. Got delayed up on a math test. I hate them things.
Tanya: Ah, math isn't really that hard.

*starts calling out all kinds of math explanations.*

Shin: Please, stop... my brain can't take anymore.
Tanya: So how's you like the city life?
Shin: Not bad I guess.
Tanya: We still have another month or so yet before we return home, unless we quite the trade program.
Shin: No way. I like seeing other places.

TOAA: Yama...do it

"Yamairo nods, and then touches Harry. He accelerates his brain's control over his powers, and in a flash, the entire area is engulfed in a bright light"

"elsewhere, Jet feels it happen"

---

"As the thugs are getting near the girl, suddenly, I jump out of nowhere and land a kick in the back of one of their faces. Two more get slashed right in the ribs by a fast Mikado. Both of us stand between them and the girl"

Mikado: Why are we doing this again?
Me: Because shut up...

"The man looking on grins"

Man: It's those two...I wasn't expecting this...but it works fine either way...

Jet: What... the light kid... then... it's true... That means.

(I suppose you would want Jet to unlock his powers about now?)

(He has his memories. It's just that they overlap with the new ones so he's confused. But his instinct is still to go after Harry, so he does)

"Back in Ikebukuro, Mikado and Me are still standing between the thugs and the girl"

Me: So...what now. We go for it?
Mikado: But I thought you said we should quit with that
Me: Yeah but...this is different
Thugs: You guys are about to get messed up for that

"The next sentence is so low only we can hear"

Mikado: Mendokusenai...Blue Monsters...
Me: Let's do it...Yellow Dinosaur

"I start running towards the thugs. The first two head towards me. I duck, and then drive my palm into his chin, jumping up and then wheel kicking him into the other, taking the momentum of the flow, to land ahead of both, and drive my knee into the back of the guy that was pushed by the first"

"Meanwhile, Mikado has drawn his knives again, and sends them into the weapons other two thugs are carrying. He then runs towards them, picking up the knives along the way and stabbing them into the arms of both, driving them to the floor. He pulls out the knives and gets some blood on his face, looking kind of sadistic"

Mikado: If you don't want to die...get out now

"Both the 4 that attacked first and the others get scared, and start to run away"

Me: That's what I thought

"The man watching grins, and picks up his cell"

Man: I missed watching those two...guess I'll make a thread at Dollars...

Jet: Harry... well light admiral, it's about time we meet again. And find out what is going on here

*Jet starts to leave the area going in search for Harry. *

(just please teleport there or some shit...or we'll be here all day)

"The girl seems scared by both of us. As we wipe off our clothes, we turn to her, and put on our usual happy faces"

Me: Sorry about that
Mikado: Yeah, Ikebukuro can be quite the dangerous place. What we all the color gangs and the rumors of human trafficking...
Girl: You're...
Me: Yeah, from your class. Filipe Costa
Girl: Wha...
Me: Foreigner. Just call me Fil or something...This is Masaomi Mikado.
Mikado: My pleasure...you know, I just had a new couch brought in an-

"As he tries to finishes I back-hand punch him"

Me: Shut it. Anyway...what's your name?
Girl: Ri...Ryuga Anri.
Me: Well, pleasure to meet you Ryuaga-san. We'll escort you home. It's still nighttime after all

"As the three of us exit the alley, the man in the roof is left smiling"

Man: Well...those two got in the way...guess I'll just have to change plans then...

*After a few minutes shadows begin to swirl around in an near by alley to Harry. The shadows fade to reveal Jet. Jet soon steps out from the shadows.*

Jet: Hello, light admiral.

Harry: What...dude...I'm...

"Harry had run away fast after what Yama did to him, and ducked into an alley. From some distance, TOAA and Yama are watching"

Yama: Is that him...
TOAA: Yes...alright...step in

(attack before Yama can. Start a fight)

"Meanwhile, back in Ikebukuro, all 3 of us are heading down a street. As we pass a corner, suddenly, we all hear the sound of a horse. By us, passes the Black Rider from the other day"

Anri: Wha...
Me: That's...
Mikado: You're probably confused Ryuga-san. That's the Kuroi Baiku (Black Bike)
Me: It's said...that the rider is a Kubino Shiroi...(Headless Horsemen)
Mikado: Don't worry. It's just a rumor. In this place, rumors and reality tend to overlap and merge together, so much you can't even tell. It's really a bother to live in such an interesting place as this
Me: Also, piece of advice newbie...don't get involved with the following 2 people: Shizuo and Izaya. Both are bad news for different reasons and would get you in fuck tons of trouble

*Harry suddenly finds himself blasted back into a wall. Jet approaches Harry with a grin.*

Jet: Come now, I know your stronger then this. We've fought before.

*Jet gets ready to launch another shadow blast at Harry.*

"Harry suddenly, as if remembering something, moves at light speed towards Jet and slams him without control across several buildings"

TOAA: What the!! Quick, feeze time

"Yama does so, but Harry, still without much control and only thinking of hitting Jet, still moves and launches a light blast"

TOAA: NO! Freeze time completely!!
Yama: HOW?!
TOAA: CRAP! Unfreeze, unfreeze, let Jet fight back!

*Jet gets up.*

Jet: That's more like it.

*With a swift swing of his arm, Jet lets out a wave of darkness towards Harry.*

"Harry can't block and gets hit full force into the building. Jet's about to fight back and suddenly, he disappears from place. Harry's left unconscious, but safe"

"Jet reappears near TOAA and Yama on a roof"

Yama: Damn it I though I wouldn't be able to make it
TOAA: Calm down Dark-boy...I need to talk to you

Jet: Hmm, Yamairo correct. (to TOAA) Who are you, and why should I care?

TOAA: I'm The One Above All...you know, God of the multiverse, all mighty, above all other entities, the multiverse itself is just an extension of myself...all that jazz
Jet: Well...why are you here?
TOAA: Because...I've lost my powers

Jet: *chuckle* This is a first. God is powerless. I suppose you want my help to get your powers back.

TOAA: Yes...
Jet: How did you loose them anyway?
TOAA: Sigh...are you aware of what the Anthropic Principle means?
Jet: No...
TOAA: It's a principle applied in several areas...for our area and explanation, it's something that states that we are aware of the universe, therefore it exists. If humans had not evolved to a point where they could became aware of the laws that bind this universe, then the universe would remain unknown...in non-existence...of course, you can take my word for it, this is entirely false. However...what if a mutant, as you call them, had the power to make the Anthropic Principle true...what he perceives is reality in it's true form...
Jet: Then...that would mean reality would change to accommodate said being's view
TOAA: Exactly...basically, he can create everything out of nothing and return everything to nothing...an omnipotent in it's true form...as well as omniscient in a way, as what he knows is the sum of reality.
Jet: So...let me guess, some mutant has this power and dethroned you
TOAA: Yes...that's exactly what happened

(Recap plz...)

(nothing much. Milo is still driving towards Benjamin. He saw Harry on the way and something happened, but for now, I wont say what )

"Meanwhile, in Ikebukuro, we see the man skipping along. He ducks into an alley, and goes up some stairs quickly. As he arrives on the roof, he walks on the edge and jumps to the next one effortlessly. He pulls out a pair of binoculars and starts looking at the street. He sees a girl. However, two men approach her, and without anyone around the busy street noticing, snatch her"

Man: hey! I was going to have some fun with that one...guess I gotta get her back then

"He takes out his phone and sends a message to someone"

Jet: Then if such a power exist, it's the greatest threat to this planet, to everybody. How do you overcome something like that?

TOAA: Simple...you kill the person
Yama: What?
TOAA: If we kill whoever did this, they're grip on reality will cease and I can get my powers back, setting everything right.

"The girl, who had been taken, is thrown into a van by the men"

man: Alright...so that's another one this week...we should get some good money for her

"inside the van, another guy, smaller, is putting the girl to sleep with chloroform"

Man: Come on guys! She's out. lets get out of here

Jet: Well, sounds like my kind of mission. Still, how do we even go about finding this person. Let alone how difficult it could be to kill this person.
