Teran walked into the city through the main gate and bought a bottle of water to quench his thirst from the long walk through the desert. Most of the time he would have just "jumped" through the astral plane but he had spent too much time there the last few days and still needed to recover. He figured with the trouble he would likely find himself in now that he had tick off the leader of a gang,he would need all his abilities to face them...

He had yet to gain any good numbers from his most recent prisoner and would try at it again tonight. Teran walked through the city his foot steps silently floating away in the high winds that had begun. He had come her just to walk around in the sun and figured the desert would be the best place...

An old man looked up from where his was sitting when he saw the white-haired man entered the city. He stood, his long, grey hair blowing in the wind, and began to casually walk after the white-haired man staying behind far enough to hopefully not be noticed too much. This might be easier than I thought thought the man.

After hearing about who he was to kill from his gang leader, he thought that it would be tougher tracking down the man. Soon after accepting the hit, his friends found out that the man was traveling this way and became slightly worried that the man had already heard about the hit and was coming to investigate.

Now that he had the man in his sights, the only words he thought now was This will be some quick, easy money.

Teran continues walking through the street at his normal pace not noticing the man following him at all. Teran decided that just walking down the street was becoming boring so he stopped at the next alley he could find. In a very quick movement he ran up the wall and after grabbing the edge of the wall he pulled him self up. He began free running through every obstacle that came before him as he ran over the flat rooftops that were common in the desert city, and jumping over the alleys when he came to them. He was moving much faster now and in much more random directions. Teran then moved to the higher roof tops toward the center of the city and began cat jumping walls and posts that were at his level.

The city was build in a very organized fashion from the ground level that was easy to navigate but now that he was on the roofs above ground it was a labyrinth of different size buildings, ladders, posts, walls, and ledges. Anyone trying to find someone above the ground would be difficult...

Valen saw the man turn down an alley, and he ran to catch up. When he reached the mouth of the alley, he saw a quick movement on top of the building. "****it!...It's going to be a **** tracking him down now. Tch...at least it's more fun." Sighing, Valen began walking down the alley. Looking around, he made sure no one was around. He took a seat, leaning up against a wall, and began to meditate. After about five minutes, the old man's feature began to shift and change into that of a young man. He started yelling out in pain, but the change was over quickly, lasting only about a minute.

"****ing ow! If the skill wasn't so **** useful, I wouldn't use it as often....****!" Grumbling, and still gasping from the pain, Valen took notice of loud noise of people running. Realizing that someone must have heard the yelling and told the police, he quickly ran up the wall he was facing, grabbed the edge, and pulled himself onto the building just as two policemen entered the alley. Not wanting to stick around, he began to walk across the roof pulling out a cell phone. He dialed in a number and waited, standing in the middle of the roof of the building.

"Hello?" a man said from the other end of the phone.

"Hey, it's Valen. Listen, I need the gang to help me track down the man I'm supposed to take down. Tell them to also check the rooftops."

"Anything else your highness?"

Valen laughed, "Yeah, you got any sniper rifles?"

"Hmm...I don't have one, but I can get you one. Meet me at the fountain in 20 minutes. *click*" The phone went dead. Valen tucked the phone away, and headed towards the center of town where the fountain was.

Teran continues his free running on the roof tops jumping up and down randomly form wall to post then back to another wall. He stops suddenly when he reaches the towns out edge and climb onto the top of a large building so that he could over look the surrounding area outside the city. To most people it was just the desert but to some one who could see into the astral plane it was much much more.

Teran opened his eyes to look into the astral plane and the physical plane simultaneously. In the physical plane all he saw was sand dunes for miles but in the astral plane he could see a vast network of rivers and swamp lakes. The more he traveled to the astral plane the more he noticed about it and one of the rules that seamed to be in place was that the terrains were the exact opposite from one another. In the physical plane there might be a forest but in the astral plane there would be an ocean or desert.

That was the main reason he came to this desert city was to see the opposite in the astral plane...

Valen sat down on a bench by the fountain. It had only taken him roughly fifteen minutes to get there, but the sun was already starting to go down. He sighed, and ran his fingers through his hair. He would have to track down the guy soon, or else he'd have to try finding him in the dark and Valen was not excited about that. "Worried about the dark are we?" Valen look at the man now sitting next to him. The man looked to be about thirty with short, light brown hair and he wasn't that tanned at all. He look to be of an average build and his clothes, a gray polo, dark jeans, and gray tennis shoes, were very ordinary. Although he looked very average and normal, there was something in his green eyes and the way he looked at people that brings to mind the word mischievous. "You shouldn't be too worried. I'm sure he'll be found soon, I have guys all over looking for him. Even on the roof tops.

"Yeah...I know....Well, what do you have for me?"

"Not much I'm afraid. I couldn't find any info on the guy, and I couldn't get you a sniper."

"I can see you smiling, is there good news?"

"Yep! I'm gonna be your partner in tracking him down! Won't this be fun?!"

"You sure Alex? It's been a while since you've been out doing something besides sitting behind a desk."

"Yeah, yeah. Don't worry. I got your back man, things we'll be fine. Come on, lets go!"
Alex said as he jumped up off the bench.

"Alright, but I'm the boss on this one, and we're gonna take the roofs. There's too many people down here and we might get split up." Valen got up and casually walked off into an alley, Alex following. They both easily got up on the roofs and began the hunting, watching the crowds, and waited for the phone call that would tell them where to go. It soon got dark, and some people left the streets, but the city was still slightly busy. The darkness of the night was a little foreboding.

As the sun began to sink beneath the horizon Teran fell out of his meditative state and was more focused on the immediate area around him and in the city below...

He jumped to his feet and turned to face the city. There were many lights on the roof tops held by men who didn't look too friendly. He jump down from off the buildings high wall and landed in a roll about 20ft below. He came out of the roll just in time to jump off the buildings edge and onto the next. He began at a dead run away from one group still not sure their purpose but he wasn't taking any chances...

After the first group was out of sight a second group of about five men appeared in front of him and shined thier lights his direction...

"There is the GUY!" Said the one holding the flashlight.

The chase was on. Teran knew from that statement that they were indeed after him and he wasn't going to stand there waiting to find out for sure. He ripped off his usually gloved hand revealing his bladed hand from which he threw four spikes directly in front of him, but as in the street the day earlier the spikes entered a portal and reversed direction aimed straight at the five men now chasing him. Four of them fell to the ground dead each with a spike piercing through his temple...

"Let it begin..."

Valen heard the yells, and began running towards the sound with Alex close behind him. They both had silenced 9mm's in their hands. They ducked behind a chimney, attempting to make no noise at all. "Ok, here's the plan. You go left and I'll go right. Be stealthy and silent. The first one who gets a good shot takes it. Ok?" Valen asked looking at Alex. Alex nodded his head and went left as stealthily as he could. Valen went right, using his black clothing to help blend in with the night. It took a few minutes, but soon his target came into view. I need to get closer though, the shot will be too hard from here. As he started moving forward, he saw a shape leaping towards the man. "Alex..." Valen began running towards his friend and the target not caring if he was seen, he needed to help his friend out.

The moment Demetri enters the city the sky becomes cloudy and rain begins to fall in a constant rate creating a light mist to lap over the streets. He walks at first as he nears the combatant on the roof only 100yrds away now. He begins to run when he sees his target about to be crushed by a man already in midair. Demetri points his finger at the man and releases a deadly bolt of plasma into the jumping man. The hit didn't kill him right away but that didn't matter... the satisfaction of the next kill would be much sweeter than having to protect his target from outside variables.

He said variables because people were nothing more than that to Demetri . Everything was a variable made to be considered, analyzed, then cast to the side when it got it the way... Emotions, fear, life, and most annoying... death. But that was all death was to Demetri an annoyance...

He jumped and easily cleared the 20ft distance left due to a sudden change in the direction of the wind. He landed on top of the dying man with a hole in his chest and looked over to his target; Teran Reuna... This man had become his newest annoyance just the day before when he was called to do this job.

With out a word he drew his saber knowing that this man would put up a fight and so would all the men around him... he didn't know that the man he just killed was their leader...

There was a bright flash of light, and suddenly Valen saw Alex hit with something and fall to the ground. Right after, a man landed on top of him. Valen stopped in his tracks for just a moment before he realized that this new man must have hit Alex with...something, and that Alex was most likely dead. Gathering up his nerve, Valen stealthily crept up on the two men now facing each other. His gang was stopped in their tracks from fright. He carefully got one's attention and motion for him to leave. The others caught on and began to flee the scene. Looking at this new man, there was hatred now burning in Valen's eyes. This guy...he must die for taking...Ahhhhh! There was a slight movement underneath the man.

Alex quickly pulled out a hidden knife, and jabbed it in the man's calf. Seeing this movement, Valen took his shot and fired off three rounds in rapid succession at the man's torso.

Teran takes several steps back from the man who appears to have just killed the other mans friend... He is very confused but all he knows is that all of these men seem to be after him. He draws his own long sword in his left hand(his non metallic hand) and forms three inch claws on his right hand and holds a defensive position with his sword held above his head the tip pointing toward the lighting man's feet, and his other hand held just below it, the fingers flexed, ready to rip out the throat of the next person to come near him.

"Who are you?! A question that sounded more like a growl than words and was pointed at everyone around him... he was not a happy camper...

Demetri Steps hard on his rugs face at the same time running a current through his body which paralyzed the man who tried to stab him as well as moving him out of the way of the last two bullets. He takes the first bullet in the left shoulder as well as a glancing blow to the shin from the knife but shrugs it off knowing that he didn't have time to waste here...

He lands on the ground about 10ft away from the together two men and faces them both forming a triangle of death stares, each person glaring at the other two trying to kill them with purely their eyes... He hold his saber close to his chest with his right and draws his own 9mm with his left. A super dense fog replaces the rain and the wind is nothing more that a humming blowing in a circular motion around the city...

He hears Teran's question but doesn't care and takes a few step through the mist unseen by the other two...

- Alex took the step on the face like a champ. He could already feel his life slipping away, pain wasn't really on his mind. As the paralysis runs over him, his eyes close and soon too much blood seeped out of his body leaving only his body and no life. His last thought had been Valen... -

Valen faced the man who could should lightning mainly focusing on him, though he also glanced a little at the white haired man facing the other one. You know what? I don't care about this hit anymore. This man who has killed my friend is my new target....maybe this guy can help me...hmm... Soon a dark fog settles over the three men, but Valen stands still pointing his gun at the misshapen, blurry, blob shape now in front of him. He knew the guy was still, just his image was distorted from the darkness and fog. He didn't dare speak so as to loose his concentration. His only focus now was the man who killed his friend, and Valen watched this man, waiting for him to move just a little so he could pump this guy full of lead.

Teran saw this assassin as the biggest threat and figured that the other guy wouldn't be after him for the moment. They were both focused on this new assassin... Teran put his long sword back into its sheath and drew out several metal spikes in its stead. He closed his eyes for a second and then opened them again looking at both the physical and astral planes at once allowing him to see the movement of the energy around him. He had noticed a disturbance to the atmosphere immediately after the rain first started. He could see now that the air pressure is being changed rapidly. He had never heard of anyone being able to do something like that before...
