I Hate This Game

"So as you may know, I operate as a therapist for the villains.". Rory nodded while waiting for her to continue. "However, usually I'm not thrown into fights unless It's serious. My power is to control emotions, but there's a downside to this. The less emotional capability, the less my power will work. However I tend to find that looking for peoples greatest emotional traumas and pain works pretty well in a fight. Consider it fighting without doing any physical damage!".

*In the city somewhere*

"Hunt them down.... NOW!".

"Well that's pretty much it. It was truly nice to-". Dana stopped talking immediately and turned towards the window. ".... Kid. Get the hero off his ass. Now!". Rory was about to ask why when a small dice landed inside the house. "Aw shi-" *BOOM*. The smoke cleared and she saw a person who was wearing.... A casino outfit? It kept going from black to white throughout the whole suit, and he had a tie on that had 4 stripes on it. Red, blue, purple, and gold. "Well hello there queen of emotion!" He said in a slight British accent.

Dana stood up and stretched saying "Rory, I'm gonna need you to get out of here while you can.". She picked up a purple spiked bat and rushed at him. Before it hit him, he held out his hand and a giant casino chip blocked the attack. "What, no hello to your old friend?".

He can summon anything that can be used for casino games, and resize it to his liking!]

Rory started to run, but before she could get out the doorway, another showed up. This one was female, 5'6, dark purple hood that looked like a plush toy, milky skin, and over sized white shorts. "And that would be the witness.... Can't have that escaping." She said in a quiet and timid voice.

She spread apart her fingers and little purple marbles appeared. She threw one at Rory, and before she knew it she was inside it. "Unfortunately for you, nothing can escape my traps.

[????- Nightcloak

Skill- Trap

She can create small objects, and trap a person or other objects in them. However these won't work on something that's too big.]

"Score, could hurry this up? I want to go read." She said waiting. "Yes well why don't you help me, for I am forced to-". He was cut off as he stopped moving and fell to the ground. "Oh great, now what?" She said. 'Score' was lying on the ground, still conscious but not able to move. "Tell me, do you know what happens when the body goes into a high state of fear? It gives you an out of body feeling, and you can't even control your body. In which case you are literally paralyzed in fear.".

Dana's eye had turned purple, signalling she was using fear. "He- hey Nightcloak. Could you just, I don't know- GET HER OFF ME?!" Score said to her. "Yeah, yeah.". She pulled out a marble and crushed it. She ran towards Dana and then a chair appeared in her hand. She swung it at Dana and knocked her off of him. He stood up and after brushing himself off said "Good, now let's grab her and go.".

Before they got too close, they heard an immense buzzing noise. "Now that was a mistake....". They turned around to see Static with a pink face mask on and the same colored hoodie. He put on the hood and did the equivalent of start glitching. He looked around and didn't see his sister. He then looked towards the marble and said "DIE!". He ran towards them and Score tossed a chip the size of a dinner plat into his head, sending him backwards.

They both saw him fly back, and then glitch down in front of them. They then both saw him glitch into an electrical socket and heard laughing. The two got back to back and Score said "He just lagged. What the fuck is this guy's skill?!". Nightcloak looked at him and said "Static: The glitching hero. His skill is called Static Phantom. It lets him glitch or go through stuff, but that's all I know!".

They saw a pixel version of his face appear on any screens in the area and say "I HATE cheaters! Especially in MY games! I know, why don't we play! We'll have so much fun as I RIP your bones out! We could put you in jail, hang you, stab you, bury you alive! The list is endless!". They both got a nervous look on their faces and both thought at the same time 'WE FUCKED UP!'.

He burst out one of the outlets covered in electricity, and punched the two of them through a wall, them getting shocked in the process. "Message received, with all the bones in my body.... Owwwwwww...." Nightcloak said. He got ready to shoot lightning at them, when a large wave of red energy went through the area. His powers then cut off along with EVERY electronic.

"Be lucky I showed up you two! Stop playing around!" A man who was 6 ft, spiky red hair, white skin, and wearing a red trench coat with black jeans and combat boots. "Thanks Pulse!".

[????- Pulse

Skill- EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse)

His power allows his to produce high burst of electrical currents, some of which will knock out any power or electronic frequencies in the area he's in. This makes him good against heroes such as Static, due to his ability to dissipate any electricity or electronics.]

Jay looked towards them and says in a more normal voice "I hate this game.". Nightcloak puts him in a little bow she creates, and then see's Dana is gone. ".... Hey Pulse.".

"Hm?"

"So how upset would you be if I say we only got the hero?"

".... GOD DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
