It was quite a nice day outside. Horizon city sparkled like a jewel in the bright sun, only a few fluffy clouds dotted the sky, but they were so high and
marvelous that they only added to the serene nature of the day. Cody took in this serene peace as he made his way down the street, just having had a full meal.
He was content, full, and ready to go and relax somewhere. That peace and contentment was shattered by the sound of sirens. Lots of sirens, to be exact.
Sighing to himself, Cody looked around and found an alleyway that no one was in. His senses allowing him to know the alleyway was empty he began to rise from
the ground as if pulled by a wire. He quickly moved up into the air, and as he did so, a white cloud of powder seemed to envelope him. A small flash of light
from the powder as it settled in the air, and out rose Conduit. Hero and champion of the city, and the name that had been given to Cody's form when he was
in disguise as a superhero.
He soon flew around and found the source of the sirens: ten police cars all racing somewhere. Unsure of where they were going, Conduit quickly flew forward,
trailing them. He had to find out just what they were after, see if he could help. It might be nothing major, but even then he would help out. This was his
city, and he was it's guardian. Even if it was just a purse snatching incident, he wasn't about to let some hoodlum get away with thier crimes.

Crap had Hit the fan in a big way, seeing as how Jaiden Kreel, the best wheelman in Horizon City, just got a call from Charles Rafferty to go pick up his son
Robert, who was staging a massive jailbreak, or face the consequences.
Well, on the upside, s/he would get to test out the car s/he'd been building on for the last 4 years, using and rebuilding junkyard crap and Richard 'Wrenchman' Wilson's expertise on everything tech. Hopping in the car, slamming the door, inserting and turning the key, the Japo-Norwegian hermaphrodite savored the deep and loud roar of the car's engine, taken from a helicopter's carcass and beefed up even more, but only for a moment. Somewhere in the Lower-Central district, a garage door flew open, and a sleek blue form of a car shot out and drifted down the road at insane speeds, leaving whoever was watching to wonder whats going on. What would be Bob Raffertey's fate: back in jail to continue serving his time, or in Jaiden's car to escape the fuzz. The Race is on....

(No idea why that didn't post as Conduit, lets try again)
Conduit continued to follow the cops as they moved towards some unknown objective. Unable to figure out just what they were after, he had no choice but to follow them. He flew down low enough, and evetually one of the cops noticed him following. They slowed down, and Conduit flew down low towards the car. It pulled over, and Conduit quickly landed as the cops got out. Conduit: Whats with all the fuss? Officer: We got a guy in a jailbreak, Bob Rafferty. Pretty connected fella, we guess he's got some hot wheels comin to help with his rescue, so we're trying to beat'em to the scene. Conduit: How did you come across this information? I mean I doubt the guy just spilled his guts to you. Officer: Inside man. Only we didn't get the tip until it was almost too late. Apparenty he'd been found out and beaten, he had to crawl to the phone to tell us. Conduit: Well, I won't let that man's work be for nothing. Where is the prison he's supposed to be breaking out of? Officer: West of here, as the crow...or you...flies. Big place, lots of lights. The boy's already made it through most of the security, he's gotta get out of the wall now,thats all thats left. You have to get to him before anyone else! Conduit: Don't worry sir, I'll get him. You best get back on the trail. Conduit imeadiately took off, this time traveling much faster then before. He headed strait up, spiraling as he went. Eventually, he could see the place the officer had spoken of, west of where he was now. There was a bit of smoke rising from the buildings, so it wasn't too hard to find. Conduit took off like a bolt of lightning towards the building. He'd make it there faster then the cops, but if someone was waiting for this Bob Rafferty...it could end differently... |

On the lone road to/from the prison, a blue car with LED red taillights could also be seen from the air, kicking up a dustcloud behind it at about the same
speed as Conduit was flying at, and just under the thunderous roar of the engine was the rhythmic thumping of techno music.
- = - = - = - Jaiden was now 'in the zone' for the extreme driving s/he was infamous for, when she noticed Conduit in her rear mirrors coming up fast. S/he flipped a switch inside, and spooged more NOS into the fuel-line, causing the car to go even faster. Normally, there'd be a sh!tstorm of cussing at and trying to kill Conduit about now, but Jaiden was a different sort of criminal; professional, plotted and planned out, and both level-headed and handed in most things. One could say that with hir car-fu skills, Jaiden was superhero material, but has skewed loyalties thusfar. Her objective was to collect Bob Rafferty, escape, and then deliver him back to his family when the coast was clear. Coming up on the prison complex, several inmates had made it over the final wall and were running back east, towards the city, including Bob, who had seen the blue car and was running like a man posessed towards Jaiden' car. |

Notcing the car, Conduit commited it's look to memory. He knew that the person was driving dangerously but he couldn't stop them at the moment, given
that the breakout at the prison was the main problem. Hopefully he could later go back and find this car again, and speak with the driver then. Flying over the
prison, Conduit noticed that there was alot of smoke and few inmates running out. Behind them were more trying to escape, and behind them the police.
Flying towards the second group of inmates trying to escape, Conduit raised one arm and flew low to the ground. Flying in a straight line infront of them, he let out a stream of energy, churning it's way into the earth. The inmates of course stopped at this, knowing better then to run into the blast zone. The criminals waited until he passed and tried to move foward, only to find themselves confronted with a deep, deep trench, dug out by the blast that Conduit released. That would hold them and serve as a barrier for the time being, leaving the cops to mop up those prisoners. Now it would come time to collect those that had escaped, Conduit wasn't sure which one was Bob, but he was going to aprehend them all so it didn't matter too much. However, he didn't have to worry as he could tell that Bob was the man specifically running towards the car that he'd seen earlier, which not only told him which of the inmates was Bob, but also told him that the car's driver was an accomplice. Swooping down towards the inmates, Conduit landed in front of them. If he was going to nab them all, he didn't have time to be pretty about it. Luckily, the complex had a large pond behind the gates, and it would serve nicely as a catching mit. One of the inmates attempted to throw some sort of mechanism at Conduit and stop him, probably whatever device helped create the wholes in the wall. The device exploded right infront fo him, and for a moment the inmates cheered, thinking that Conduit had been defeated. Conduit quickly walked out of the smoke, completely unharmed. A slight glow seemed to surround him for a second and then disapate, quick enough that not even the inmates noticed it. Getting right to work, Conduit picked up two of the inmates, took off into the air, and flung them into the pond behind the gates. He did this several more times until only one was left besides Bob. However, Bob had reached the car before he could reach him, and so Conduit knew he'd have to buy some time. Throwing the last inmate on his back, Conduit spun to his left in mid air, took aim at the car, and threw out a burst of energy. The volleyball sized green-white blast travelled swiftly towards the car, intending not to destroy it but put it out of commission. Not wanting to hurt the driver inside, Conduit made certain to only apply enough force to disable the car. He then spun again to his left, and used the momentum and his strength to hurl the last guy into the pond. Unsure of wheather or not his last blast had hit, he turned, seaking to make sure that he had been true to his mark... |

The energy bolt bounced off the hood of the car, a telltale sign that it wasn't an ordinary car, as the passenger door swung open and bob leaped inside,
the door slamming shut again as the car took off again, roaring away in a cloud of dust towards the city.
Inside, Jaiden hand-signaled for Bob to shut up, strap in, and hang on for dear life until things calmed down, as the techno-mojo music thumped on. In the city, numerous police cruisers had been alerted to the prison break and Jaiden's blue car, and were swarming out of the city like black and white fireants. It was a full 5 miles to the end of the field and the starting of the city, and Jaiden was closing in like a speed demon straight from hell. .....And about 2 minutes until Jaiden could really blossom into her skill, with the aid of the terrain of the city.....

The energyball struck the hood of the car but apparently it was made of some sort of more dense material then Conduit had expected. He hadn't put much
force into the blast, so it was no suprise that the car had withstood it. The police were taking care of the captured escapees, so Conduit was free to persue
the car.

A figure crouched low in an alley way, waiting for his target. His targets, accourding to the files he had inside the jacket he was wearing, would be easy
enought to spot. He stretched restlessley as he chewed on the last piece of the former owner of his outfit. It was just a pair of baggy jeans, a hoody, and
some sneakers; but with his abilities they fit him perfectly. "Time to leave my mark on this world..." He laughed as he walked out of the ally and
stood by the road. In the distance he could see a speeding car followed by a flying man. "And I thought i was weird..." He muttered as he stepped out
into the road, running at the oncomming car.

Reacting like lightning, Jaiden thumbed a small joystick on the steering wheel, and the car leaped over the wall in a complete spiral, also missing the
random streetguy running out of the alleyway.
Landing on 4 solid wheels, and with Bob hanging on to 'oh sh!t' straps with white knuckles, and squeaking like a little girl while Jaiden continued to smile, drive like only s/he could, and defy both the odds, and gravity, left and right. S/he kept going at full speed for 3 more blocks, and then drifted around the corner in a Perfect Arc. Infortunatly, or fortunatly, thats when the cops came into play, because right then, adozen cruisers came hard-charging around the other corner, and caught sight of The Car. Also fortunate/unfortunate, was that picking up Bob was the easy part; However, losing the cops, and Conduit was the hard part, and getting away clean was going to be damn near impossible the longer this dragged out.....

Blight cursed as the car flew over head. He looked around and saw a man speeding by on a motorcycle. He ran towards him, and put him in what looked like a head
lock as he drove past pulling him down the road with the cycle. In a flash blight spread over the rider, who he quickly absorbed, and took control of the bike.
He turned it around and went full speed at the wall. As he got closer to the curb he stuck his leg out and brought it down on the hood of a parked car. The
force of the kick brought both him and his new bike up into the air enought to barely clear the wall. "That took alot out of me..." He complained as
he took off again on the bike, following the cops chase. "This had better be worth it..."

Conduit watched in suprise as the car lifted itself off the ground and vaulted over the wall of concrete. He had to hand it to the driver, he certainly knew
how to handle...whatever kind of car it was. For a moment, Conduit wondered if he was fighting some random driver, or Knight Rider. Putting those doubts out of
his head, Conduit quickly flew after the car.
For just a moment, his senses tingled, the cosmic sense that kept him aware of his surroundings picking up a stranger in the road. However, at the moment all Conduit knew was that someone was there, he knew nothing of his powers or intentions. To the hero, he was nothing more then a pedestrian that didn't know a rampaging fight had been headed his way. The car was now being chased by several police, though Conduit doubted they would pose much of a threat for the supercar. Deciding that enough was enough, Conduit increased speed and headed towards the automobile. "We're done playing chase. This ends now." Conduit flew up to the car, and got along side it. In an instant, he perform an uppercut that glew with the energy in his right hand. He had powered up a blast of energy and combined it with his fist and superstrength to perform a strong upercut. However, his aim was not to destroy the car, but the blast and punch would be enough to knock it on it's hood should it hit. That would certainly end the chase early... |

Blight had caught up with the police as conduit went in for the attack. He snarled as he literally wrapped his hand around the handlebars of the bike he had
"commandeered". There was a flash of movement as his form stretched from the seat of the bike to the roof of a near by police car. "THAT'S
MY TARGET!" He roared as he threw the motorcycle will all his rage, intent on intercepting the punch. In a flash he had abandoned his biker outfit and
slithered his way into an open window in the cruiser absorbing both cops inside on the way. A split second later he had control of the car. He was wearing one
of the cops uniform now, and had the others gun drawn just in-case the battery man saw anything.

Just as the punch was about to connect, a motorcycle seemed to come out of nowhere. Conduit's cosmic sense picked it up, movement to be avoided, but that
didn't mean that his body could react so quickly. Without being able to change his line of motion, he could do nothing but watch as the bike flew his way.
It crashed into him, hard enough to shatter his shield, sending him plummeting along the street. He rolled for a few moments, unable to see if the blast that
had accompanied his fist had even dented the car.
Several of the police cars whizzed by him, the last few of them stopping upon noticing the superhero rolling in the street. He slowly got up, and brushed off. Shiny sparkles, some pizza slice trangles, fell off him in a glintering manner, and then disapeared along the ground. He cracked his neck abit, obviously irritated. He looked at the cops standing around him. "Keep going...just a hazard of the job..." He quickly took back to the air, faster then before, hoping to catch back up with the car, or it's wreck, depending on what had happened with his blast. Hopefully it had sent the car rolling but he had no way to know now, he had to get back up on the chase. He would have to find out who threw the motorcycle...no doubt an accomplice. He would have to bring that person in too. As he flew towards the car, a shiny film of air seemed to surround him for a second, and then was gone... |

Having been watching the entire time of the entire chase it was weighing heavily on his heart. Seeing that Conduit was now having to take on two people at
one time Venderil only felt as if it was his duty to help out. He stood up from atop the three hundred foot tall skyscraper and looked down seeing a small pool
at the bottom of it.

Blight laughed as the figure flew infront of his car. "Priceless..." In a flash he had slithered back to the roof, leaving a piece of himself attack
to the gas paddle keeping at max speed. It was the first time he had shown his true form in public. He was a large human shape made of a deep crimson goo. The
surface of his "skin" was covered with moving deep blue lines. His blood red eyes stared at ammusement at the one who challanged him. "You want
to dance?" He chuckled as his hands hardened, forming a thick shell. "Lets..." Four tendrils emmerged from his back. He stuck out his arms, as
two of the tendrills rolled up into balls into his hands and detached from his back. He tossed them at two more cop cars, which they attached to, as his car
about to impact with his foe.

Venderil had paid close attention to what his new opponent could do. He grinned as he pointed his right hand towards the ground where a sewer pipe was at. Water shot up from the sewer just a second before the cop car had rolled over it. Which would cause the car to swerve out of Venderil's path. A few moments later Venderil was in the air once more twin water golems forming from the shooting water from the sewer. As Venderil landed he pointed the golems in the direction of the two cars that the man had shot goo into. Venderil knew that Conduit could take care of the the other, which meant that Venderil could now face the other one on one. Thinking a moment about where the other car had swirved off towards he used the shooting water from the sewer to form a wall of water that hardened like titanium in front of the car to make sure that it hit no pedestrians or buildings. Venderil hopped up after all the confusion of water and landed upon a nearby building to watch the twin golems dealing with the other two cars. |

Not caring that the 3 were mixing it up like bar drinks, Jaiden kept on going, with several police cars in tow, and when the the water wall formed, s/he just
hoped the curb, pressed a button, and after the tires finished expanding to resemble meaty off-road tires (with the car lifting itself abit), and roared thru
the front end of a coffeehouse while leaning on the trainhorn installed under the hood, taking out numerous tables and booths, and causing alot of coffee to be
spilled in the mad scramble to dive out of the way of the blue car, but the building wasnt finished yet.
Finally reaching the street on the other side of the building, Jaiden had just finished taking out a cofeehouse, a flowershop, a computer store, a tailor's studio, the front end of a candystore, and last but not least, a Kosher food market. There were no human casualties due to the train horn, but there was now both alot of surprised people, and a good sized tunnel between the the water wall, and the rest of the building. Pressing the button again, S/he reverted the car back to its former mode, and continued on her way with Bob Rafferty, meanwhile, in the aftermath, news companies were scrambling to get their reporter crews out to catch all the action.... |

Blight growled as he pulled himself from the wreckage of his car, his body reforming from all his little dings. "That's it...." He mumbled as he
sent a mental command to both the little globs his formed a moment ago. They had already entered both the cars by the time the golems started to attack. They
began to absorb both of the officers inside, creating smaller copies of Blight. Blight chuckled madly as a hundred spikes started to form from his back,
shoulders and arms. With a twisting of his body they shot off in all directions. Most hit people, immediately fusing with them; to their horror; and began to
turn them into more copies; the others simply bounced off of what ever they hit, only to begin to crawl towards those that where hit to speed up the process.
In the end Blight clearly looked a little worse for wear but still had a twisted smile on his face. "I don't care about the targets anymore..."
he chuckled, "this is personal."

Although he hated having to leave Bob and the Wheelman, there was little that he could do in light of present circumstances. There was no way that he could
let this go on without doing something. These creatures were causing far more destruction then a single mobster.
Conduit broke off the chase of the car and headed back towards the fight. He had seen the water golems before, they were something that he'd encountered, but only one at the time. It was formidable, and now it seemed they were merely an overture of what was to come. However this new person was a threat as well, he wasn't sure of his abilities but he was sure he wanted to stay away from whatever that goo was. "Everyone, clear out of here now! It's not safe, get as far away from this place as possible! You too officer.." Conduit looked down to see a guy firing bullets into the water golems, doing absolutely no damage. He flew down to where he was, about to inform him that he was shooting at water, when suddenly the cop turned the gun on him. Instantly Conduit beefed up his shield, afraid the officer might shoot him out of fear. However, the shot went over his shoulder, catching one of the goo creatures in the head. It seemed to do little but it allowed Conduit to know that they were no longer human. There was no point in holding back. "Thank you, you've done this city proud. Now flee before this gets worse." The cop made it out safely, along with many civilians fleeing in panic. Looking around, Conduit sized up the threat. There were two giant golems made of water, and hundreds of goo people, both of them battling it out in his city. It looked like they had both forgotten about him but he wasn't about to let that stop him from ending thier brawl. He could always go after the car later. "If I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna need a little more power..." He smiled slightly, and raised his hands back. The street lights that weren't destroyed dimmed and brightened several times. The cars surrounding them that were still running seemed to miss a step and slow down. A barely perceptible tenderil of energy moved from one car, then another, and another. They were moving from the car engines, and as they did, the engine began to die a little. The lights seemed to flicker, and then the very light itself seemed to stream downwards in tendrils of it's own. All of them met at Conduit, the power coursing through his body. His eyes glew a bright green, for a moment he eminated a bright flash of light, and even his shield was visable for a moment, glowing bright white green around him. That short moment gave Conduit all he'd need, and as the lights and the engines returned to normal, he looked slowly upon his opponents. "Leave my city. NOW." He raised one hand, and a stream of light green energy flew from it, not just an energy blast like before. It struck the golems, cutting and burning through them. Moving the beams, he reduced them to steam, and then set upon his next set of opponents. He raised up off his feet and brought his hands through the crowds that were gathering around him. The creatures were blasted down to almost nothing, parts of them laying in the street, the road itself upheaved and buckled from the strength of the blast Conduit let out. They had stayed here far too long... |

There was a small noise that began to surround Conduit, slowly building as movement began to cover the street. Slowly the noise built into a twisted laugh.
"Is that all you have?" Blights voice rang from all around as small spots of goo started to form all over the road, moving and growing as they
rebuild themselves from their scattered parts. "Let me tell you a science lesson..." He laughed as the main Blight's shape emerged from the
largest pile, soon to be followed by his hundreds of clones. "Have you ever heard of a prion?"
His face formed a twisted grin. "It's basically a misformed protein.. very hard to destroy..." He popped his neck as his other self's began to form. They were all a little small then before, and now only a little over a hundred strong. "Now one day some military guys decide they want to weaponize that old ravage virus.. but that the virus in its natural state wasn't good enough... not when there is a cure for it..." He begain to streatch a little as he finished the last little details in his body. "This is where it gets twisted. All a virus really is is a strand of dna or rna and a protien coat. Well one guy decided to replace the protien coat with a prion.. what you see infront of you is the result. My whole body is made up of a mutated form of the ravage virus."

Having dropped bob off at the safehouse, Jaiden fueled up the car again, and then went back out. All of a sudden, that same blue car, now with tinted windows, came drifting around the corner, roadkilling several dozen blight-clones and coming to a stop next to the 2, with the car behind Blight, and Conduit in front of him. Jaiden revved the powerful engine to make the message clear; GTFO of the city or else you risk pissing off someone who wields a 2-ton weapon. Overhead, news choppers circled thru the air like thundering vultures, recording the action with their cameras. Across the street, an aray of TV's in the electronics store echoed the scene on their screens, but with borders of various CG overlays that tagged the news stations headers and other information. Normally, Jaiden would be running from Conduit, but right now, there was a bigger fish to fry, and Jaiden wasn't keen on losing her turf to some nano-goop superfreak.
