Terror in the streets
 

The setting is New York city. Murders have been occurring out of nowhere. People who have been confirmed as dead, are sometimes reported walking the streets at night. The bodies are sometimes mutilated, while others are drained of blood, while still yet others come into the morgue half eaten. The NYPD has been paid by government agents to pretend it’s a single killer, a sort of Jack the Ripper, wreaking havoc on the city. Things will only get worse by the day…..

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Kylie stared at the front page of the New York Daily. She read the title once again “Maniac killer strikes again!” She scanned the Column “ Police say killer uses many different methods……..bite wounds on the neck……or innards strewn across the scene…” Kylie sighed heavily, her brother wasn’t gonna like this very much. A loud thud from behind made her jump, Kylie turned to see a large gray wolf. “DAMON!” She shouted “how many times have I told you not to sneak up on me like that!” The wolf gave a grin “Come on sis….how could I resist? Besides you should be paying more attention, especially of late.”

Kylie frowned “I suppose you’ve already read the front pager then?” Damon nodded “And you know exactly what that means… this city will be crawling with government agents, looking for us…”

Kylie and her brother had a mutual agreement with the government. They could remain in the city, the country, as long as they took no innocent or important lives…. As long as they caused no trouble for the law.

Kylie looked at her brother, concerned “What are we going to do Damon?” Damon shook his head “I’m not quite sure Kylie…thinking is your area…I just make it happen.”

((I'll take Casey and a Vamp dude....I'm still working on a progile for him, tho.))

((I'll be Donnie!! And, if no one else wants her, then April... But definitly Don :)))

((ok...well i suppos all of us will have to take double charaters and what not if we don't get extra players....ummm...most all unatural creatures can be controlled by anyone.... I'll be using Kylie, Damon, and i suppose any of the let over turtles))

((Yeah, if need be, I'll be Leo, too, until someone calls him, if that's okay. :)))

((sure no problamo!))

((I'll also take Mike, I guess.))

((*a la Cosmo* Weee!!! I'll be me!! :lol: ))

Caset turned off his TV and threw the remote on the ground in a fir of rage. "That ack the Ripper wanna be is gonna get a taste of justice tonight..." Casey grabbed his golf club bag and his mask. ".....In the for of Casey Jones!" Casey ran out of his apartment and started his patrol.

As Mars pulled her trenchcoat closer to her as she crossed the street, comming home from the movie she saw, and adjusting the hat on her head, she then spotted an good old friend of hers. "Case!" She called out, jogging over to meet him. "...yo, Jones! Where you at, Crazy-man!?"

((OCC: "Crazy-Man" is her nickname for him. Just thought I'd give you a heads up. :D))

"So....did you happen to get anything to eat?" Kylie glanced over at her brother, who had taken his human form. "Uhhh.....no?" He answered her "I thought you were supposed to..."

Kylie growled in frustration "Well i guess we don't get food tonight....so then what were you doing then?"

Damon smiled sheepishly.

"What did you do?" Kylie crossed her arms "Please tell me you weren't touring the town in your wolf form...."

Damon scratched the back of his hea "Well actually i just visited the murder scene to see if.....you know...maybe it was another wolf..."

Kylie slapped her forhead "great. Lets leave our pawprints and fur at the scene....they definatly won't suspect us now..."

April set the paper down, and shivered slightly. She didn't like this, not one bit. And, she hated to admit it, but it made her more than a little nervous. She hated being scared.

Maybe... maybe she'd have one of the guys stay overnight... or she could go down to the lair, of course... But she didn't want them to suspect she was scared. Then they'd get all over-preotective, and... then they'd know she was scared.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Leonardo flipped off the TV, and sat back more in the couch. He didn't like this. They'd been patrolling more often now that this killer had begun striking, but they never seemed to come close to even seeing him. He sighed heavily.

How could they keep missing him like that??

(I will play Randi and Raph until someone else claims him... and because I'm lazy, Randi will already be a friend of the turtles)

Scared? Maybe a little.

Not that she had anything to really worry about. The 'Ripper' wanna-be wasn't out to kill female turtles, he was after humans. All the same, Randi had opted to stay at the guys' place for a while. She leaned on the back of the couch, directly to Leonardo's left.

"Want me to come during the next patrol?" She asked, "I may not be a ninja, but I could help in other ways." She tapped her head.

"No." Raphael grunted, walking over an plopping down on the other side of Leonardo, "You ain't comin'."

"Says you." Randi frowned at him, looking back to Leo. "Dude, you know I could be of help."

Casey looked behind him at Mars. "Oh, hey Mars. hwat are you doing out now?"

Kylie and Damon walked down the street, side by side. "So...while you were there did you find anything?" Kylie asked him.

"Well....it's definatly NOT human....I don't think any human would have the power to make such a mess, there were still blood stains everywhere." Damon answered. "Icouldn't get a scent either...to many distractions."

Kylie shook her head "I hate to say this, but were gonna have to find the killer....weather we like it or not we are involved now..."

Damon noded "So what do you suggest?" he knew his sister was beginning to form a plan. "Well to start with, we should prolly patrol the area....you know....see if we can finad anything out of the ordinary...then i'll have to go from there."

"Ok..." Damon agreed "Lets split up and meet back at the park?"

" ten four Bro..." Kylie turned and trotted off in the opposite direction of her brother.

((oh and just for a refrence....even tho this character is also in Invasions...lets start everyone off as strangers))

If its not to late i'd like to join,Im gonna be my Hanzo character if thats alright w/ everyone


Hanzo stuck to the rooftops as always,haunted about his discovery. "What could've done such a horrible thing?" "It surely couldn't have been human." Just as he concluded his thoughts he heard an unusual sound coming from the streets below.

Looking down he saw a werewolf in the alley below,thinking this was the creature that was responsible for the slain human,he drew his sword and proceeded to jump down to the alley. He landed behind the creature and whispered "you made quite a mess..."

Kylie spun around her fur rising on her nape "who the hell are you?" Her teeth flashed as she spoke "and what "mess do you speak of?" Kylie didn't like this creature....how many things would dare to sneak up behind a werewolf?

Hanzo was startled by the wolfs reaction. Backing away he said "I found a mutilated body behind a store" He put his sword away and removed his mask to show his reptilian skin and face...pausing he said quietly "If you didn't do this...what did?"

"I dunno..." Kylie said cautiously "thats what i'm out here to find out..." she wasn't quite sure if she could trust this strange creature "so when did you find this body? Just recently?" She was a curious creature by nature.

"About 5 minutes ago...." Hanzo said,his toungue slithered out on "s" in "minutes" he rushed to put his mask back on. He was uncomfortable about his appearence. He asked "Are you searching for the same creature?"

"hmmm..."kylie arched a furry brow "I've heard nothing all night...not one sound..." She looked at the masked lizard creature "Well yes...i'm hoping to find it...and perhaps turn it in, before..." she paused "I get accused of the crime." Kylie didn't want this new arrival to know about her brother just yet.

"Oh" Hanzo knew the Wolf was leaving out something. He kept off the subject and said "Im gonna search the park" he then walked off.

Kylie cocked her head slightly, how could he just walk off like that? "Wait..." she called after him "Aren't you going to show me to the body or something?" kylie wasn't quite sure if he had heard her of not.

Hanzo heard the voice,he walked back. "I didn't intend on showing you,but i guess you should see." "Follow me..."

Kylie started after him "Good call...umm...what did you say your name was?" She hoped maybe she could make at least a temporary alliance with this creature, he could be of some use later.


--------------------------Meanwhile------------------

Damon crept along the shadowed streets, nothing was abnormal. In fact it was eerily quiet for New York. "Everyone must be scared senseless....the thugs aren't even out." Damon headed to a more densly populated area. If the killer preferred humans he was bound to be lurking in such a place.

"Hanzo...Hattori Hanzo" Hanzo led the wolf to the store where he'd found the body. There it lie,in a pool of blood. Hanzo glanced over at the creature and saw the look of disgust on its face. "What do you suppose we do?"

"I'm Kylie...." She paused "Kylie Yareni."

Kylie wrinkled her lips at the sight of the body "Wow thats jus awful...." she scented the air "Well judging by the smell and the fact that the blood hasn't coagulated yet...our victim has only been dead for about a couple minutes..." Kylie looked at Hanzo "Now i've seen a lot worse, but this doesn't look like a humans doins to me." She noticed how the body was mauled a bit. "the undead? but they wouldn't appear in the city..." She looked to Hanzo "We should leave, and scout the immediate area...perhaps the perpatraitor is still nearby...but be on your guard."

"OK" Hanzo wasn't sure if he like taking orders,but Kylie sounded like she knew what she was talking about. "Wait" Hanzo said. He saw something out of the corner of his eye..."Did you just see that?"

Kylie crouched low to the ground and stared in the direction that Hanzo had indicated, she had been to busy studying the body to notice anything else. "Did you see what it was?" she whispered. Kylie suddenly got a bad feeling and a low growl rose up in her throat.

"Over there" Hanzo whispered. He saw a shadowy figure running into a nearby store. He drew his sword and concentrated all his energy into it,it burst into flames...he looked to Kylie. "Well why don't find out what this thing is?"

Deacon stood on the rooftop above the latest murder. "Damn lycans think they rule the town. Think they can kill whoever, whenever they want. Eventually, the cops are gonna found out about us, too. I have to put s stop to this NOW." Deacon grabbed his dula blades and jumped down to stret level staying in the darkness.

Mike
 

Unbeknownst to Deacon, he himself was being watched...

Michelangelo Hamato, mutant ninja turtle, watched the entire spectacle from a short distance. He was pondering whether he should take action or not. Then he say the fellow on the rooftop hop down towards the wolf and the other one. With blades in hand, no less.

Geez. That's just peachy...

((cqb claimed Mike already...so if you really want mike...you'll have to take it up with him....))


Kylie nodded slightly, but then shook her head "Umm...if your sure, but you know...it could be something way more powerful...or it could just be a regular human...either way...we must be cautious." She whispered to Hanzo. Kylie didn't like to fight, she also hated heated confrontations. Damon usually took care of her verbal and physical despuits.

Hanzo went around to the back of the building and twisted the handle,it was unlocked...Hanzo and Kylie went into the the dark building,as they crept inside they realized it was a grocery store. Hanzo heard nothing and leaned over to Kylie and said " I guess nothing is here..." Hanzo was proceeding to search the building when he saw a dripping substance coming from the ceiling. He stood totally still and whispered "Over here..."

Kylie scented the air "what is that smell?" she moved up next to Hanzo "she looked at the substance froming a puddle on the floor "Gross...that stuff smell like a three week old corpse..." Kylie scanned the room. Nothing.

An orange rolled across the market floor and bumped into the back of Kylie's foot. She jumped and spun around, then gave a nervous laugh as she noticed what it was "Maybe we should find backup?" She looked to Hanzo, if he was afraid he was good at hiding it. Kylie wasn't used to being in this type of situation with a stranger, and that made her all the more jumpy.

Deacon watched as the two creatures snuch into the back of the grocery store. Finally, a werewolf. I've been waiting for this all night long. Deacon slid his blades into the scabbards on the inside of his coat, so they were out of sight. He walked up behind Kylie and Hanzo. "may I help you two things with something?" He stressed the word "things".

Hanzo turned around and leaped back,thinking someone was going to attack him,he stood still,scoping the figure,ready to stirke with his sword. He thought to himself "This just isn't my day."

Kylie turned and looked strait into the face of what seemed to be a human. Kylies nose caught a smell of damp, clammy skin...the smell of something that wasn't alive, but not quite dead either. All of Kylies fur was standing "State your buisness Vampire!" She growled. damn bloodsuckers, Kylie thought always thinking they can do whatever they want when they want

Deacon smiled and with a quick movement of his amrs he drew his blades. He lunged at Kylie, transforming into his full vampire form on the way.

((When I say transform to his vampire form, he turns into a vampire and looks like the ones from Buffy/Angel and From dusk till dawn.))

((OOC: Sheesh, I go away for one day... :lol: ))

"Meh, movie." Mars shrugged her coated shoulders, as she then cocked an eyeridge under her hat. "...I wanted to see that new Spiderman movie. What, may I ask, are YOU doing out here tonight?"
