Considering the typical chaos that this island was known for, to say that the day started out calm was an understatement.
All seemed well in the Void City Plaza. People casually went about their business, strolling down the road, walking in and out of stores, or just sitting around and enjoying the pleasant morning. No noise, no commotion, nothing more than simple greetings as familiar faces passed each other by. Yes, it certainly seemed like a welcoming break from the usual madness that plagued this world.
But we wouldn't have a story if something weird didn't happen.
It started with a loud, ear-piercing screech, like the sound of nails scratching a chalkboard. Right above one of the smaller buildings, a portal appeared, its edges jagged and distorted as if something had torn a hole through the fabric of space and time.
From out of the portal poured three figures. The first was a large, black, demonic-looking creature with solid white eyes. Following it was a black-haired, teenage boy and a Bernese Mountain Dog. Once they had landed on the building's roof, the portal closed and the demon lunged at the boy and dog. The boy didn't hesitate and fought back, attacking it with his bare hands while his dog angrily tried to jump up and bite the demon.

Well outside of the line of perspective of the three combatants, a mysterious blur of energy ran along the rooftops, making impossible jumps by using unnatural agility. Almost God-like agility in fact.
As he ran, he felt an energy somewhere behind him trying it's best to keep up as the Parkour Nut ran at fast speeds.
It only made sense.
==> Be the Thief of Void
You were a Thief of Void, probably the best one you knew.
"Come on Pieter! Make it a challenge for me eh?" You say as you laughed, jumping to another building and running along the tip-top like the ninja you were.

Not far behind said blur was another blur, darker in color. Said blur was moving in a similar manner, though he was cheating somewhat; he didn't have quite as much natural agility, so he compensated by using his power to lower gravity for him somewhat and reduce drag.
It only made sense, after all.
==> Be the Mage of Space.
You were indeed one. A very good one.
"If you want a challenge, Aaron, you'll get one!" You chuckled, pouring on a burst of speed, attempting to catch up. Your robes flapped in the wind as you nearly flew across the rooftops.

Floating just a little out of sight was a young Bowser, scanning the area from his (too big to really be his) Koopa Clown Car. "C'mon..." he groaned, looking around.
"There's gotta be a batch of cookies somewhere!"
He kept up his search, not paying attention to the coming events he overlooked...

Unaware of the two blurs -and the world around him for that matter- the teenager swung his fist into the demon's face, leaving a powerful, crushing blow that no one would've expected from such a skinny figure. The demon was knocked back, and as soon as it landed on its back, the dog sunk its teeth deep into the demon's neck, right where it met the shoulder.
A loud, agonized scream ripped through the city as the dog delivered this killing blow. Then, when the damage was done, the dog moved away so its master could kick the demon, still alive but bleeding heavily, off the building and into the street below.

==> ashelfjaskeflkdsh WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!?!?! You stop short on your running path, peeling off a few shingles from the roof you were running on when you hear that god-awful racket pierce the city. Pieter zooms past you since he didn't have quite the same amount of drag as you did. ==> As you look around, you try to ascertain where that sound had come from. "P-Pieter... Did... Did you just hear that-  " |

==> Whoa, hold up!
You zoomed off the building, hovering in the air. You almost immediately close your eyes. "...Yeah, I heard that. There's someone nearby, too... A few someones. C'mon!"
==> Begin searching
You begin flying, looking for the folks you could sense. You didn't think they were too far, admittedly, but it's not easy to find specific people in a city.

Unaware of the fight going on, the miniscule prince went into a hizzy- the ear piercing scream making him scream himself. "MY EAAAAAARRRRS!!!!" In what could only be called an unaware accident, his Koopa Clown Car began to spin out of control, slowly approaching the roof top.

Shortly after hitting the ground, the demon stood up and clutched its wounded neck. It swung its free hand around rather carelessly before retreating into the nearest alley in defeat, disappearing into the shadows.
Evan looked down at the street, crossing his arms and taking a deep breath. "We probably shouldn't have done that. We should've at least subdued him."
"Like it makes much of a difference," Carter replied between pants. "He'll just resurrect himself and probably come after us again."
"Yeah, but if you haven't noticed..." Evan pointed to the city surrounding them. Only then had it become clear that Dorothy and Toto weren't exactly in Kansas anymore.
"Oh..." Carter's ears drooped. "Yeah, that's a problem. Just where did that lunatic bring us?"
"I don't know," Evan replied, brushing his chest off. "But we're gonna have to find our own way out of here if-"
He stopped himself when he realized something was missing. Frantically, he felt around his chest in the hopes that it was still there, further proving that it wasn't when he looked down the neck of his shirt. "Oh, crap. Crap, crap, crap, CRAP!"
"Oh, don't tell me he has the key!" Carter barked.
"Uuuuuhhhh..."
"Great! That's just fan-tucking-fastic!! ...Well, it can't be too bad. Since Sanguine will be busy repairing his body, we'll have plenty of time to track-" It was then that Carter became aware of the flying car spiraling towards them. "HOLY JESUS!!"
(Just to clarify, whenever Carter talks, Evan is the only one who understands him. Anyone else -unless they have the power to talk to animals- just hears regular dog noises.)

(( mrsaturn123.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=acceptedcharacters&action=display&thread=6924 <--- Who I'm using)) Two fiery wings could be seen in the distance. A being in a black body suit with red armor and an odd helmet looked below before landing on a separate roof. Claws off of the boots clicked on the floor. 'So glad that I got the thing with the civilians cleared up,' thought the one inside the suit before jumping over to the next roof where a cloud car was about to crash into a pair of bystanders. "Watch where you're flying that thing!" the being shouted. |

==> Alex: Notice odd presence
You heard a scream from nearby and turned that way...
However something else caught his attention, something attempting to hide in the shadows nearby. HIS shadows he noted. "Hmmmm...." As Pieter flew off you let out a shout. "HEEEEY PIETER!!! YOU GO ON AHEAD!!!! I'LL CATCH UP WITH YOU!!!!"
==>
With that said, you jump down from the building and down into the shadowy alleyways below.
You had an odd feeling something was trying to escape from the scene... Something that, to you, felt particularly sinister. You pull out your Staff as you descend into the alley...
You had a feeling something awaited in the darkness...

==> Move out.
"Got it." You nod, flying off, searching for what you sensed. It didn't take long, though. You continued to fly, before getting closer. He yelped as he saw the spiraling car, pouring on speed to try and catch it before it could crash. You didn't see the face on the car, though, otherwise you would've reacted a little differently. "Whoa!"

Not that the catch did much of anything- the overgrown copter device tipped over, spilling out the Tiny Prince of the Koopas in a rather quick manner, the rest of his items coming with him, including a pocket chomp, a few spare coins, and some white gemstone he found in the garbage.
"Ooooowowowowowww... My eaaaarrrs...!" He groaned, staring at the two in front of him. "Which one of you jerks screamed my ears off?!"

Evan blinked, not quite believing what he was seeing. Was that a Koopa??
"Um..." he looked at Carter, then back at the angry young Bowser. "It wasn't either of us. It was the demon we were fighting. Now, uh, if you'll excuse us..."
With that... odd encounter out of the way, the two made a hasty retreat down the building's fire escape, Carter saying all the while, "Whatever this place is, I'd like to get out of it."
"No kidding," Evan agreed.
They landed in the alleyway where Sanguine had disappeared, finding themselves face-to-face with a guy wearing what looked like an outfit straight out of Homestuck.

Dracorum looked to the Koopa and the mage.
"Do I want to know?" the suited being asked to them while the wings snuffed themselves out.
