Jakob heard screaming from the mall. He looked at the two workers he was bringing some girders to. They heard the screaming as well.
They knew it piqued Jakob's interest, so they didn't mind that he put down the girders he was carrying and ran off.
He didn't enter the doors. He wanted to keep a safe distance to see the carnage.
"Analysis: Supernatural entity. Currently taking on Zero, 13, and that one Jessie girl." Jakob fought supernatural beings before, but none like the eerie femme-fatale. He wondered which of his current armament would be suitable for an opponent like that.
"Experimentation could get one killed, but there's no current option." Jakob flipped open his cellphone as he started reaching through his coat for his sniper rifle. He jumped back behind a car and set up the sniper rifle with its stands out. He took aim at the monster-woman.
"KPG, I've got some kind of supernatural being. Any suggestions?"
"I'd try using your sniper rifle. If not, I could probably make something if you bring in some stuff on your way back."
"Already on it," Jakob said as he squeezed the trigger. The bullet shot at hypersonic speeds, melted through the door, and made contact with the intended target.

*The bullet strikes her head, and she simply flinches, covering her wound (which healed unnaturally quick) with her hand*
Lust: OW! What the hell?!

"Good news: Plasma seems to do something. Bad news: Not much at all though- target heals unnaturally quickly."
"Alright, I guess I'll have to do some modifications once you get back."
Jakob hanged up and fired the sniper rifle some more.

*She finds out she's being fired at*
Lust: What the-
*She looks to the distance, straight towards Jakob*
Lust: Oooo, a bothersome fly!

"Hm. Took her time," Jakob muttered to himself as he reloaded the rifle and slung it under his coat again. He pulled out his revolver and sawn-off shotgun in exchange.

Zero, seeing his girlfriend thrown, forces himself up. He bullets to Jessie and tries to make a break for it.
ZERO: There must be another way.

Lust: I'll deal with the fly later...
*Jumps to Zero's position, landing just behind him*
*He turns, but is grasped by both of the villians hands against his checks*
*He fights to get free, but something begins to happen*
*Zero, begins to get weaker and weaker, and begins to loose the will to fight her*
Lust: Aww... aren't you cute when you are not moving? Now to-
*She stops and looks into his eyes*
Lust: Wait... You aren't mortal... I've found you!
*She lets go of him and backs off*
*He hits the floor with a slugish thud*
Lust: I'll be back boy-toy, and next time, we play for keeps!
*She disappears in a cloud of black, cackling*

"ZERO!"
Jessie runs to him. "Who was that?!?" She lightly touches his cheek. "She didn't hurt you too bad, did she?"
But Lust did hurt him. So much that he passed out. And Jessie wasn't far behind, collapsing onto his body.
((I'm going too. one of my fav shows is coming on))

Jakob burst through the doors, finding Zero on the floor, being tended to by Jessie. 13 was also on the ground.
Jakob picked up 13 and ran up to Jessie.
"You going to carry him? Or do I have to bring everyone out?"
She didn't seem to respond. Probably from internal damage by the enemy's squeezing attack. Jakob muttered something to himself and hefted both Zero and Jessie. His movement was cut by half, but at least he can get them to repairs.

*Behind the universe*
Lust: I've found him! I've FOUND HIM!
Envy: Who have you found, sweetheart?
Lust: The one we need! It's that blue life sized action figure. I never thought it would be, but it IS! I saw it in his eyes!
Greed: I was watching, there is something indeed different about him.
Pride: Not like the other non-living beings, is he?
Sloth: Good... *yawn* then we can get this over with...
Greed: It's not that simple, you three eyed fool!
Gluttony: Even I know there are certain protocalls to follow when handling a matter this huge, Sloth!
Sloth: Sorry... didn't really care so much to suggest something good.
Envy: You shouldn't be so careless, Sloth. It could mean your doom!
Lust: We should tell Wrath!
Greed: He already knows. He knows everything that we do and everything that happens to us.
Lust: I forgot about that...
Envy: So what now?
Pride: I'll request the next step from Wrath.
*disappears*
Envy: Good, then we are well on our way... it's been decades, but we've finally found him... the 8th Syn!

Meanwhile, back at Gene's house, a portal opens and allows Vexus to enter. "You're early," Gene notes.
"I had nowhere else to be. So, meat puppet, what's on the agenda for today?"
"The same thing that's on the agenda every day, Your Majesty: getting you and the locals to play nice."
"I was hoping for a bit more detail," Vexus says, "though it doesn't hurt to keep an eye on the larger goal."
"Well, I can't give specifics just yet. We're still in the preliminary stages, getting you guys comfortable with talking rather than shooting. There's a lot of bad blood between you, a lot of apologizing and forgiving that needs to be done. I mean, that one guy, Alex,... you killed his freakin' parents!"
"They were military scientists. They were acceptable targets."
"Right, right. But... you killed... his freaking parents. Imagine if I killed you. Just bashed your head in with a pipe. You think Vega wouldn't track me to the ends of the galaxy to get revenge?"
"Doubtful," Vexus sighs. "To give you a medal, maybe...."
"Hey, don't say that. She might not agree with everything you did as Queen, but you're still her mom. Though I don't really get how that works. I mean, I've studied all kinds of alien biology, but you guys... you know what? Never mind. My point is, you're gonna have to go through a lot of crying and hugging before you can even think about discussing the important stuff."
"Very well. But I can't hug your planet's protectors from here. Where are they?"
"That... is an excellent question...."
