Midnightspectre2.0: grbbnnn...

RM 552: Midnight?

Midnightspectre 2.0 gradually stands.

RM552: Midnight!

MdS 2.0: (looks around)...did we win?

RM 552: No. A new group calling themselves the CSF--

MdS 2.0: say no more. i'll...i'll have to...what's wrong with me? the last thing i remember is grabbing ve-wait. plant toxin?

RM 552: Yep.

MdS 2.0: (raises an index finger) hold up a minute.

Midnightspectre 2.0 removes a vial from his glove and drinks it.

RM 552: Lemme guess...antitoxin?

MdS 2.0: along with some senzu bean extract. it should kick in right about...NOW.

RM 552: Good. Now blast the wolf that's fighting Hybrid and 'port us back to the city.

MdS 2.0:...Problem.

RM 552: Problem?

MdS 2.0: My powers...may be burned out. Flight, density alteration, and most of the other powers are done.

RM 552: Well, isn't that special. So what can you do?

MdS: 2.0: You mean other than uncanny observational capabilities? I'm still metahuman, with the enhnaced physical attributes to match. That, and I know Ninjitsu, Capoiera, Krav Maga, and several forms of Kung Fu.

RM 552:... So what can you do?

MdS 2.0: Keep a low profile and smack up whoever's weak points before they know I'm there. That, and I use deductive reasoning to piece together off-kilter but effective strategies.

MdS 2.0: Just so you know, we can establish telepathic links now.

RM552: I thought you said your powers were gone.

MdS 2.0: Most are, but some aren't. I'll explain later on the Talk Thread.

RM 552: Riiiiight.

RM 552: Change?

MdS 2.0: As in "Change Clothes and go." The Saiyan armor held up, but the black unitard beneath it got torn up...as usual.

Ten minutes later...

RM 552: Nice.

MdS 2.0: Yeah. Lightweight Adamantium mesh lining, among other things. Tell Hybrid and his buddy it's time to go.

RM 552: uh...that's not his buddy Midnight.

Mds 2.0: You were SERIOUS about them...nevermind! It's just a matter of lycanthropy.

RM 552.

MdS 2.0: Hybrid! Strike its vital organs and if it bites you, kill it!

Hybrid: You sure about this?

MdS 2.0: Trust me.
