It'll give me more time to do images for the RP too.

One month after the events of "A Tremorton Valentine's"...
Life is good. The city is still going through renovations. Zero places some steel braces against the most damaged buildings.
ZERO: That ought to do it. I hope you don't mind that I'm not a union member.
CHIEF: You kidding? If there's anything this city is never short on it repair work!
Zero takes off for one more patrol. With all the heroes active in he city, he's been able to shorten his days and find time for himself. It's nice knowing he's not alone.
He takes a pass by Tremorton High. Jessie's still in class. Her dual identity has been a challenge. When he visits her, he usually just floats outside her window. Zero doesn't understand why she hasn't told her sister or parents about their dating, but hey, it's been exciting. She calls it "holding back information".
After quick look, Zero goes back to his base. The power plant is gone. He recovered the computer memory from the wreckage and built a new base in the clearing in the Tremorton Forest, overlooking the lake. It appears to be a cluster of metallic trees. The structure inside is much like a home. It's well lit and open, a nice change for the dark and bleak enclosure of the old base. He has his recharge capsule, as well as a living space for guests. The metal trees absorb solar power, which Zero uses to recharge.
Things are back to normal. He has a new home. He's in love.
Yes, life has been good.

Jakob had been quite useful as a builder's support unit. He carried stuff they couldn't carry when the machines capable of doing so were busy, and he carried tools for the chance event one of them forgot said tools.
He really knew next to nothing about construction apart from helping KPG build the bunker over two years ago. Even then, it was very specialised- unlike the standards used for the vast majority of these buildings.
Also, two years ago, his mind wasn't near as developed as it has been for the past few months. Thanks to the exploitation of society, Jakob became a pretty social person. At the same time, he became anti-social. KPG was the main reason. Jakob didn't want people near him. KPG didn't want people near him. As was his choice.
Never regret, never compromise. That was KPG's attitude about being seen without his combat mask.
It resembled a hockey mask, except it looked different, and was integrated with a sturdy gas mask system. It gave his voice a different tone, but he still forces a deeper voice to mask his identity further. That's what he did when the Hands of Fate attacked, and KPG left to drop off the XJ-9 at her mother's house.
Skyway Patrol seemed to cool down since that incident. He's yet to have officials go to the door to arrest Jakob for murder and destruction of private property. Maybe they just didn't know Jakob well enough and have yet to obtain official paperwork like they had for the XJ-9.
Jakob hefted a load of steel girders and walked them to a lift. The crane that was supposed to do the job was too busy lifting cement columns.
In reality, he was indifferent. He couldn't care, but wouldn't mind helping. It gave him something to do. When it started off as orders fro KPG, it then turned into "if he feels like it", which is usually always. KPG always said that the key to terrible rampancy is sheer boredum.

*televisons everywhere automatically switch to channel 14, where a breaking news story interrupts daily programming, and the tranquility of Tremorton*
Ch 14 News Anchor: Tragic breaking news today, citizens of Tremorton. Even though there has been a month of peace in the city since the "Star Force" incident, crime hasn't taken a break, as two civilians have just recently been found in the allyway in a perminent state of coma. Police investigations have failed to turn up results, as the victums in question seemed to have experienced a most bizzar attack. The state of the victums, police have stated, are quite peculiar, as their eye's have become pitch black, and the only thing uttered form their non-responsive phychosis was "never sin...". The investigation has come to a complete halt until witnesses can be found, and more evidence of these new attacks can be accumulated.
This has been Darla Gretch, Ch 14 news, and we now return to your daily programming
*every televison in Tremorton returns to it's original programing*

Alex had decided that between patrols, he would fix up his old house.
He had been cleaning the dried blood-stains in the basement (from Jakob's 'interrogation' of the Skyway Patrol officers), when he heard the news coming from the TV upstairs. He got to the TV just in time to see the disturbing image of the two victims.
"Great, we get the cluster off our case, then this happens." He muttered to himself.
It was just another one of those days.

ZERO:(After seeing the report) How did I miss that?
A voice comes from the newly constructed computer.
FATHER: It is at these times you must rely on your friends. Not all obstacles are within your power to overcome.
ZERO: Hm.(nods)

(First, the profile:)
NAME: Gene Wright SPECIES: Human SEX: Male AGE: 28
APPEARANCE: Caucasian, medium build, brown eyes, short brown hair, eyeglasses. Usually wears a white lab coat, safety goggles, and black slacks. POWERS: enhanced strength, speed, and toughness; flight; optic lasers WEAKNESSES: biological, chemical, and radiological poisoning; high explosives; prolonged exposure to extreme temperature, pressure, or corrosion
Wright was a graduate student at San Andreas State University, working toward a Ph.D. in biotechnology. He was dismissed, however, after a lab accident killed several of his peers. To continue his research, Wright packed up and traveled across the country to Tremorton, where (he reasoned) he could study under that city's talented robotic engineers and integrate their results into his own work.
(Now, the post.)
In the month since the Star Force attack, Gene Wright has reluctantly joined Tremorton's regular rotation of "heroes." He acts as an amateur crisis negotiator, resolving situations peacefully when possible, buying time for the town's more violent vigilantes to plan an effective response otherwise. Unfortunately, he's been so busy with this new job that he hasn't had much time to advance his own education with Dr. Wakeman or any of Tremorton's other roboticists.
Meanwhile, Wright's first and greatest success, the Cluster ceasefire, has become a long-term project. Progress has been slow, as neither the Cluster 'bots nor the Earthlings have proven willing to make any major concessions, but at least the talks themselves have continued. He has invited Vexus to another round of discussion today, but as he'll soon discover, he couldn't have picked a worse time....

Alex wasn't sure how to proceed.
He could contact any one of his allies, but judging on how the news was delivered, they all knew by now. Skyway Patrol had already been over the scene, as well as the local 'authorities'. There was nothing left to investigate. Though it wouldn't hurt to look at the scene of the crime for anything they may have missed. So he headed to the alleyway.....

School day's coming to a close. Zero said he'd meet Jessie at the mall. He kinda didn't want to go, since all she did was look at clothes and accessories.
He enters the mall and looks for a place to wait. He passes a Victoria's Secret.
ZERO: Hm, not really much of a secret, the way they display it like that...
He goes to EB Games. He picks up a game on display.
ZERO: "Megaman Zero". Looks cool.

*In the center of Tremorton, the (nearly) rebulit city mall was over flowing in an abundance of life and vitality, as the citizens were all going about their merry way, living out their day without a care in the world*
*It was a peaceful day, until...*
*High above the ground (nearly 60 feet up), the sky window crashed as a bluish-grey skinned girl, with long, silky black hair, and pure white tattered dress decended down with the glass, and landed gracefully on the ground in a kneeled position without a single scratch on her*
*The whole mall was in shock, and fear, but curiosity kept them still to face a threat of new doom*
*She rose up slowly, and through the darkness that draped over her face, with one glowing white eye that peered out of the black, she glared at the frightened people*
??: Heh heh heh... I know what you ALL desire...
*She heaved her right arm back*
*It warped and twisted, expanding in size, becoming seemingly more unstable by the nanosecond, before she reached out with it, stretching it to the an implausable limit, and grasped some poor sap that preceived her as eye candy at a distance*
*She yanked back and brought the guy closer to her, as everybody gasped in disbelief*
*She held him aloft with her other hand, as the warped one bagan to resume a normalized form, and whispered to him, cooing sweetly...*
??: Do you love me?
*shocked, and a little shaken the guy replied to her question*
Guy: Yes?
??: Then give me what you want...
*...before she drover her now normal, free hand into his chest, and pulled out a small plip of light without leaving a mark of entrance or exit (not a stain of blood, or an open wound), before she dropped him*
*The victum's eye's began to turn black, as he bagan to mutter "never sin..." over and over again*
*Then, there were screams, as the whole mall was thrown into a panic, running in any direction that would be away from her, as fast as they could*
??: They scatter like cockroaches...
*She chuckled, disgusted, as she dropped the small sphere of light onto her snake like black tounge (that just seemed to slither out of the shadows of her bangs), before it dissappeared back beneath her silky black hair*
Lust: Delicious... Lust is my specialty, and it always tastes well in it's prime. Now, for a little won-ton destruction...
*She jumped high into the air and landed amungst a fleeing crowd, using her warping and bubbling arms to stretch out (or bulk up) to smash, push, pull, lift, slam, throw, slash, and smack anyone within her grotesquely long reach*

Zero hear the commotion on the lower level. The glass had been broken.
He looks over and sees a scantily clad girl wrecking the place.
He jumps over the guard rail and lands hard on both feet. He places he fists on his waist taking his superman stance.
ZERO: You STOP RIGHT THERE!

*She turns to see a blue and white robot striking a superman pose*
Lust: Ooohhh, a toy! And a Superhero one, at that! I know just what need now.
*Zero looks at her, puzzled*
Lust: BAM!
*she screamed out loud as she picked up a SUV on display, and slammed it, top first, on Zero's Head, catching him off guard*
*She giggled*

Zero busts out the SUV, his arms spread out scattering the pieces.
ZERO: I'm suppose to have a date, so let's finish this quick before she gets here!

Lust: Ooo! A threesome! I hope you brought protection!
*She laughes at her own sick joke, before she gives him a bone crushing uppercutt from litterally 15 feet away, sending him through the first and second story levels and through a Macy's, a Target, and half a Home Depot*
*He gets up off a ruined stack of sawblades, a little dazed, rubbing his jaw, then his head*
Zero: Ok, that hurt...
