Boomer and Wesley

People ran out of the sound area, but there were still plenty of gawkers standing within the store trying to see what was going on. Loud music as if all the steroes were turned on at their highest volume erupted from the curtained off sound area. A few CDs came flying out of the area to crash against the walls and other displays.

Teh flying discs caused a lot of the people in the store to duck in surprise but no one was willing to go and see what had caused all the trouble. Those that had ran out of the area had various reactions. Two of the men ran from the store and into the mall proper while three others simply ran behind displays within the store. Of those three that had remained in the store, one was screaming.

"Demons!! They're going to kill us all!"

[Eviscerus]

Zealot snarls and finds the nearest bathroom. He changes into his armor as quickly as possible. If these things were magical constructs of some kind, he was going to destroy them, slash them to ribbons, then find out where they came from and rinse and repeat. Victor smiled to himself, today isn't turning out to be as boring as I'd thought!

[Kavos]

Boomer mumbles to himself... 'people can make is so hard for a hero to change...' Deciding the best cause of action Boomer head's for the door, If he recalled there should be a set of toilets near by were he could change and than get back to face whatever it was that was causing the problems..

[MBCE]

Zealot

Zealot ran out of the store to the nearest bathroom to begin changing into his armor. He entered the bathroom and his senses could detect the presence of magic within the room. His quick observant eyes notes five more of the creatures in the bathroom along.

One was ripping at the hand dryers. Two were on the ceiling ripping at the lights. One was in a stall doing who knows what, but Zealot could hear laughter coming from it. The last one was on the sink, playing with the soap dispenser.

Other than the five magical green creatures, there was no one else in the bathroom.

Boomer

Jadon ran out of the Gadgets R' Us and headed to the nearby restroom. Outside of the store, a group of people had begun to gather trying to find out what was happening within the store. The two men that ran from the store had caused enough of a commotion to attract a number of the customers.

The large number of people gathering delayed Jadon slightly from getting to the restroom. At first glance, it was empty with three stalls. Jadon headed into the stall and began changing into his costume, ready to deal with the situation in the electronics store.

[Geez3r]

Samael grabbed at the the treadmill but it was shaking too violently for him to get a hold of. He did everything in his power to get his hands on it, but to no avail.

[Kavos]

Once in the stall Jadon quickly started to get dressed, Thankfully he had his costume on hand. Once He was changed Boomer quickly stashed his bag and closed and than in a blinding flash transformed into his swarm form and and headed back to Gadgets R' us.

[MBCE]

Leon Mighty and Atlas

Atlas' failed to keep the treadmill in place it tipped over, breaking the glass pane window, sending glass flying into the walkways of the mall. Luckily, there were no people directly in front of the window to be hurt by flying glass. The treadmill began to slow to a stop now that it was on its side, half in and half out of the sports store. The strange positioning of the treadmill exposed a small hole in its base that smoke floated from. The based looked as if a cat had ripped it opened.

Atlas could hear high pitched laughter coming from nearby, but was unable to pinpoint the exact location. It did come from inside of the store though.

---

Leon bounded towards the weight machine just as Atlas tried to stop the treadmill. The quick hero moved gracefully but he had reacted just a fraction too slow. Jsut before he reached the machine, the man's grip slipped and the bar came slashing down to crush his windpipe. A look of horror crossed Leon's face as he realized he wouldn'T make it, but the computer controling the machine suddenly changed weight again. The bar came down with very little weight, just enough to knock the man out but not kill him.

Leon easily removed the bar and the man from the machine. As he did so, he noted a hole where the computer brain would be located. Smoke floated out of the hole and he could see that the hole was made by some kind of animal. High pitch laughter rang out somewhere within the machine, but Leon couldn't make out what had made the noise.

[MBCE]

Boomer

Jadon made teh quick change into his alter-ego, Boomer, and stepped out of the stall. As he moved to the door of the bathroom, the hand dryer exploded, sending debris everywhere.

As the smoke cleared, Boomer could hear laughter within the bathroom. Looking about, he saw a small green creature with claws laughing at him. Its green skin was scally like a snake with patches of brown intermixed throughout. It was obviously not of this world and really looked like something out of an old 80's movie.

[Master_Pelle]

Leon was lucky enough the man are no killed by the weight, he can't imagination how the scene will become if the man's neck will snap off. He looked at the small hole that properly made by small creatures but not my ordinary creatures. He notice the pitch laughter from inside the machine. He know it must be a evil creatures who try to sabotage the machine but he don't know what kind of creatures he is dealing with. He assume that creature are still inside the weight machine, so he violently shaking the machine to get the creature out from the machine.

""I don't know who you are but get out from the machine!" He screaming as he still shaking the machine until the creature came out or it don't happening anything.

[MBCE]

Leon Mighty

Leon's shaking of the machine cause the creature inside to stop laughing. The violent motion causes the creature to come out into the open where Leon can see it clearly.

The creature stood about 2 ft tall with green scally skin. Brown patches of brown were interemixed in the green and its hands ended in wicked claws. The creature smiled widely at Leon, showing a row of sharp teeth.

The creature leaped at Leon but failed to hit as the hero simply side stepped the attack. It was fast though, faster than anything that size should be.

[Kavos]

Stopping in mid air the swarm of light's that comprised Boomer's body hovered as he looked at the creature. What ever that creature was, it was up to no good. More light's sparked into existence around Boomer as he created a protective barrier of tiny orbs around himself.

Focusing on the creature Boomer began to form shifting pulse's of light in the air around the creature in an attempt to distract it as the swarms that comprised his body slowly creped closer to the creature.

[MBCE]

Boomer

The creature stood bedazzled by the shifting lights around boomer. It stood slack jaw with its eyes wide. As it watched the colorful lights, it cooed slightly. The soft cooing seemed to have attracted more of the creatures as Boomer saw another three appear within the restroom. The creatures came out of the stalls and from under the sink. The one from the sink held a piece of pipe in its mouth. Water was flowing freely at its feet, pouring unto the restroom floor.

All four of the creatures stared up at the brightly glowing lights as they seemed to dance about his form.

[Kavos]

"How many of you are there..." his ethereal voice sounded as he watched the little gremlins dance about to his light show. 'Great' Boomer thought to himself, ' With this lot dancing around me people might start to think that I set them loose...'

"Well come on, let's see if we can do a pied piper routine on you." Boomer said.... Thinking for a second Boomer sighed, he wasn't going to be able to get them to follow him through the door without turning human again... hopefully his changing form's wouldn't snap the little gremlins back to reality.

A secondary flash of light left Boomer crouching in the middle of the dancing gremlins, dozen's of light's still flashing around his body forming his protective shield, while the air glistened with light's as he attempted to keep the gremlins hypnotized with the lights...

[Master_Pelle]

Leon saw the creature and it was pretty small. He dodged it claw attack easily and notice it is not very skilled at fighting. He simple clenched his right fist and then pull out his little finger. He have trained his fingers so that he could carry quit heavy with one of them. His little fingers are quit strong almost like his thumbs. He swinging his right little finger at the creature's neck to knock it out.

[MBCE]

Leon Mighty

Leon struck out hitting the creature squarely but it easily shakes off the stunning attack. The creature hisses loudly at Leon, cauing more creatures to appear around the sports store. At a quick counte, both Leon and Atlas can make out fifteen of the green creatures.

The sight of the creatures causes a panic sending people scrabbling to exit the store. A few of the creatures take swipes at people that move too close to them. Blood flies as scratches upon legs appear. The gremlin near Leon strikes out again at the human but the blow was just as clumsy as before.

[MBCE]

Boomer

Boomer transformed back into his human form but kept the lights flashing in an attempt to keep the creatures' attention. Unfortunately, with the human present in the area, the light show did little to distract the creatures.

Bored with the light show, the gremlins turned back to the devices that had first brought them to the restroom. They moved quickly and were soon out of dight. Only the first gremlin was left and it hissed in anger at having the pretty lights disappear. It lunged at Boomer, but his shield easily deflects the blow.

[Kavos]

As the gremlin hissed it's anger at Boomer, took a step back, 'So much for that Idea.' Boomer thought to himself as the Gremlin leaped at him. The swarm of light's that formed a protective shield around him quickly swarmed into action, converging on the gremlin and absorbing it's attack. As a reaction to the attack, Boomer fire's of a poorly aimed plasmoid at the gremlin.

[MBCE]

Boomer

The blast came much closer than the hero would have expected but still missed the agile creature. It again lashed out at the hero. Boomer easily side stepped the blow, sending the creature harmlessly by.

[Kavos]

Boomer almost danced about avoiding the gremlins attacks. His blood pumping with adrenalin and fear. Holding out his hand, Boomer sends another ball of high powered light at the little creature. The fact that there were a number of them that were in the bathroom there was a good chance the mall could be littered with them, and that Boomer would have to work quickly if he wanted to contain them. 'With any luck, I won't be the only hero here today.' he thought to himself, feeling daunted at the thought of trying to clean up potentially the entire mall of these gremlins.

[MBCE]

Boomer

The ball of light hit easily knocking the small creature into the wall. As the light fadded, Boomer saw the small creature disapate slowly. Obviously they were not a part of this world. Once he had knocked it out, whatever held it to this world was broken.

The sound of the blast brought the gremlin under the sink back out. Its eyes widen as it saw its companion disappear. It turned its gaze upon Boomer and realized that it was doomed if attacked. It bolted for the door and ran out into the mall. Boomer could hear screams of startled costumers as the creature intermixed with the general populace.

[Geez3r]

Now that the creatures have made their presence known, Samael isn't too concerned with keeping his identity, flimsy as it was now and days. He didn't turn into the monster yet, not until the ring leader showed their face. That and right now, it looked like he would need to be as agile as possible in order to catch these buggers. Samael runs after the closest one and swats it with his palm like he's killing bugs. Lack of finesse aside it gets the job done.

[Kavos]

"No don't do that!" Boomer said hopelessly as the gremlin charged out of the bathroom. Charging after the gremlin, Boomer tried to spot were it had gone or were other's of it's kind were...

[MBCE]

Atlas

As soon as its unconcious form hit the ground, its connection to this world was broken and it disappeared in a small mote of light. Atlas' actions has a serious effect upon the other thirteen creatures. Most of the bunch skreeched in horror as Atlas's hands smashed the gremlin to the ground. The remaining creatures scattered throughout the store. Most went flying around displays and into ventilation shafts. A few, about five, darted pass Atlas and out of the now broken window to the Mall area proper.

Screams from costumers that had gathered outside of the store to see what was going on filled the air. The gremlins were loose in the mall.

[MBCE]

Boomer

Boomer came out of the restroom and looked about for the gremlin. Though he couldn't see it directly, he did note the mayhem that it caused in its passing. The creature was dashing along the walkway, heading towards the center of the mall. People were screaming and jumping to the side as the creature passed by.

With his eyes locked in that direction, Boomer was surprised to see a few more gremlin heads pop out behind banners streaming the ceiling. They watched and laughed at the passage of their companion, not realizing what it was running from. Boomer made a quick count and noted that there were at least twenty in sight.
