Mike slowly backed himself towards the table Zeke had ducked under. There were a lot more people beginning to stalk towards them now, with a few people remaining back. Out of them, the old woman with the book, minus the book, and another woman with a shield were dragging the corpse with the white sleeve over to the corpse of the waitress. Mike made a move towards them and the shield lady waved her arms upwards, causing a white barrior to envelop them in a cube. The other woman began to draw on the floor and chant. Mike looked back to his opponents. They were holding back, until a female lunged over the crowd holding small handguns in her palms. Red shards started hailing down around Mike, but the vectors drew themselves in front of him, stopping the shards dead in the air. When she touched the floor the shards reversed and ripped through her flesh. She screamed and dropped her guns, but not out of desperation. Instead, her fingers turned into crimson claws and she pounced towards Mike intent on cleaving a large gash through his chest. Both vectors dropped to catch her hands and interlocked their fingers with the claws. As they collided Mike pushed forward and headbutted her on the bridge of her nose with a loud crunch, outdone by the vectors ripping through her hands and wrists in four different gashes. As she fell back screaming a man with a fedora rushed forward to catch her from behind. He lay her down gently and glared at Mike.
"You're one sick bastard. What are you fighting for?!"
Mike responded by slamming a vector into his chest and propelling him into the crowd. With the other vector he drove the fingers into the womans chest and ripped through her heart. A black shape hurtled toward him and was punched out of the air. More sprouted out of the ground in a line headed for him. He leaped out of the way as a girl in a black dress mumbled to herself. Bolts of lightning danced around, stiking closer to Mike than he was confortable with. With a vector enhanced leap he soared through the air and landed where the guns were dropped. He ducked down spinning, grabbing a gun in each hand, and came up facing the girl as he pulled the triggers. She blocked with a large square of lightning that caught the shards that flew at her, the crowd dispersed to dodge stray shards. Mike was charged from behind by a well dressed man with a sword. He lunged into the man's range and knee'd him in the groin before decapitating him. Another swordsman with a much bigger sword and a handful of flames attacked him from a range, assisted by the fedora wearing man who also used fire. Mike flung the smooth mans body at them to their disgust and started shooting at them. The young boy covered his body with his sword but was pelted in the legs, while the fedora man had nothing to hide behind and was covered in shards before he collapsed.
The boy fell to his knee's as he set the floor under Mike on fire. Mike quickly stepped to the side jusy as a large black icicle flew past him and impaled the boy. He turned to see the young girl advancing with more icicles hanging around the air around her. A vector picked up the saber on the floor and flung it at high speeds towards her. An icicle turned her way an took the blow as the others flew towards him. He dodged behind a slot machine and ran, crouched, around them. His way was barred by a tall woman with very long hair in a black sequin dress. Mike knocked her out of the way and skirted around the last slot machine. He suddenly felt a hard substance slam into his back and propell in a flip across the room. He slammed into the bar backwards and gasped as he hit the floor. When he picked himself up he saw the woman with hair that hid her face walking towards him. She was eveloped with a black veil. As she passed the girl with the icicles she had her way interupted by her. In return, the tall woman killed her with a wave of darkness.
Mike whistled out of amusement. He brought the guns up and showered it with shards until both guns clicked empty. The black shape screeched and most people had to hold their hands over their eares to save themselves from the blood curdling sound. She hurdled through the air towards Mike and ripped his body from behind the bar and through him towards the slot machines like he was a ragdoll. His back crashed into the metal machine and pain racked at his ribs. He tossed aside the guns and readied the vectors. Whatever the creature was it was pissed, as it flew towards Mike it noticed a small green pineapple shaped sphere enter it's field of vision before it exploded into a flaming ball of death.
Mike glanced over to Zeke to see him sitting on the edge of the table acting cool again.
"Show off" Mike laughed.
The janitor was losing his temper. He pointed a finger at Mike and yelled, "DO YOU MIND?! I AM TRYING TO CLEAN HERE AND ALL THESE CORPSES ARE NOT HELPING!"
"Then come stop me" Mike responded, digging himself out of the remains of the machine. The janitor shouldered the brush and charged Mike, swinging it like a weapon. It sailed past Mike's head as he ducked and was quickly chopped into pieces. One vector pressed into the floor and Mike leaped upwards, forcing his knee into the man's face. The other vector cleaved downwards onto the mans right shoulder taking it clean off. He stumbled backwards clutching his bloody injury. To Mike's suprise a dark new arm grew out of the place of the old one, followed by two more from his back. Mike paced forwards, vectors at the ready. Before he could attack, a sound started to eminate from the cube of light. Everyone stopped (apart from Whit and Itzal) to look towards where it was coming from. It rose in volume until it could be recognised as something similer to a chior singing a single note. Nothing could be seen in the cube but Mike got the bad feeling he had before. blood suddenly sprayed up the walls of the cube, followed by a womans scream as the cube faltered and disapeared. From where it had been stood a man with a hole in his face and a wild grin, along with the black shape that had been the waitress.
"Gyahahaha! NoW yOu wiLL See whaT I am caPabLe Of!" The man cackled.
The black shape stayed where it was as the man's arm grew into a ghastly shape. He raised it and charged the janitor, cleaving him in half. The janitor's corpse collapsed onto the floor, first one half, then the other. The deceased man gazed at his arm in joyous awe.
"Finally" Mike remarked, "A challange"
