Urban Gymnastics (open to all)
Breathing hard, Jack managed to land lightly on a rooftop and fall down in the shadow of a brick chimney. He’d pushed it with that last dive, but the exhilaration pushed him to take it. It was a high he was quickly becoming addicted to despite the danger of being out in the city at night dressed in gray-black and a mask over his face. Who did he think he was, Daredevil?

He waited to catch his breath before coming out of the shadows to look at the city from his vantage point.

	About half way down the block there was a branch of the First Manhattan Savings and Trust. A man in a rhino suit ran at the front doors and a moment later there was a loud crash and the sound of breaking glass. The alarm started ringing in the night. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Jack didn't hesitate; he pulled the mask back into place and took off to check out the alarm. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique started shrinking down and soon zipped at high speeds after. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	As the guy with the mask rushed past him Ryan turn to run towards the alarm which sounded like it was coming from the bank. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rhino charged into the bank and slapped some gray modeling clay type stuff on the door to the vault. A small device was stuck into the clay and Rhino crossed the room to the far size. A moment later there was an explosion inside the bank. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jack reached the shattered doors just as the explosion blew back bits of shattered glass into the street. He flipped back out of the way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique, fortunately, was down to a very, very small size, so she didn't get hurt when the force of the explosion knocked her tiny winged self back and into street sign. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Not far behind Jack, Ryan puts his hands up to guard his face from the explosion as he dives down to the ground. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Once the vault was blown, Rhino charged in and started grabbing whatever he could. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The dust was still thick in the air when Jack rushed back. The billy club was out and he was trying hard to ignore the blaring alarm. "Hey!" he called into the vault. "Bank hours are clearly posted on the doors you destroyed!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique soon darted in, reaching for her gun. Small though it was, the taser packed quite a kick, but who knew what it would do to...the Rhino. Well, not the Rhino, clearly, but one got the picture... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Coughing a little Ryan gets back up on his feet again. Getting up Ryan grabs his truncheon he’s not ready to pull out his knife yet but he has it just in case. He wasn’t quite sure what is going to face but gets into a ready position. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Too bad!" he yelled back. "I'm making a withdraw for my employer!" He stuffed handfuls of money in a sack. When he was done, he turned and charged. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He was BIG! And moving fast! Jack leaped out of the way, neatly separating the club from the handle and slashing at the bag with the sharp blade just below the man's grasp. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hovering a little ways over the charging rhino, Vernique decides now is the time to see if an electrical jolt has any effect. She gauges her shot to follow his movement and fires. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ryan separated the heavey metal truncheon into its nunchaku like state and started swing it to build up momentum for a hard strike towards the face of this Rhino. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rose_red 2010-02-02 07:06 am UTC (link)
	The bag was cut by Jack's blow and the money fell to the floor. Rhino bellowed in anger, but kept moving. The electrical charges were absorbed by the suit and it tickled him a little. Rhino lowered his head and the nunchakus hit the horn, but with little effect. The most they do is annoy Rhino as he charged past. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Robbery foiled, yay! Bad guy getting way. Not good. Jack slipped the sword and club back together, gave it a twist, and threw it at Rhino's knees. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	As Vernique quickly flies in much closer, she adjusts her shades a little. They're no fancy scanner array, but it never hurts to have any really obvious energy weirdness show up on the infrared spectroscope. But mostly, she just concentrates on getting close. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ryan caught the truncheon and put it back together so that he could fire a cable shot at Rhino’s legs. With a little luck the shot might trip him up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The truncheon and the club collided right behind Rhino's legs. He took a quick glance back and laughed as he continued to charge through the destroyed doors. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jack could take the laugh. After all, the guy didn't get any of the money he'd tried to steal. He moved forward to grab his club and make another attempt to bring him down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Nothing too weird about the energy signature. Good chance this guy was all about muscle and equipment. Well, if he was brought down, it'd probably be by the guys, but Vernique, as she flew in close at high speed, had all she needed for a very good description. And maybe the little distraction she had planned would help slow him down, and maybe it would just make for a little addendum to the physical description she'd be giving later, but the key point of the plan was to drop down as hard as she could and pretty much springboard her nigh-indestructible little feet against the lacrimal bone of his face to jump right back out of the way again.

	There was a shadow across his vision and then pain on one side of his nose. He swatted at the shadow, but it disappeared as soon as it appeared. His one eye teared up, but he kept charging ahead. He wasn't paid to get caught. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pressing a button the cord pull back into the truncheon as Ryan rushes forward too do what he can to take down Rhino. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
