Anakin arrived at a local art museum which he had heard had the honor of putting on display several pieces by famous artists like eonardo Di Inchi, Baphael, Monatello, and Ficasso. Anakin didn't know much about any of them, but didn't really care either. He was here to make a profit, and to further test his abilities. Wearing some sweatpants and a hoodie to blend in, Anakin strolled through the large doors of the museum. He peered around to see a large crowd of people examining the artwork along the walls. He walked over to them and began scoping out the area to look for any sort of security, though he tried to make it look like he was just looking at other pieces along the walls when he turned his head.

Let's see what I'm dealing with...

was back at his minimum wage journalism job in no time following his saving of the 23 people from a burning building just two weeks ago. Now he was back to the normal life, blending in with all the humans, taking pictured for the Daily NB Newspaper.

But he also had another motive. The tycoon Louvre had some of the fanciest art on display at the local museum today, even from the likes of Leonardo Di Inchi! Clark knew that some goons would try and stage something here today, it was simply too much money to be left alone. He scratched at his chest as he took another picture of the famous Mona Tifa painting. The others back at the workplace will be jealous.

Clark observed all who were watching the paintings with his keen eyes. Disguised as a civilian he had the element of surprise for anyone who would seek to rob these precious pieces. He keeps his camera at eye level, staring through it at the various onlookers so that he remained incognito.

Looking around, Anakin was slightly concerned that he saw no obvious signs of security. Exhaling with a bit of agitation, Anakin crossed his arms and began to think. He wanted to get his hands on those paintings, yet he could not simply believe that there was no one there to make sure everything went smoothly. Anakin scratched his chin in thought as he peered at the paintings.

I have to admit, they really are nice paintings.

Anakin had a sudden thought, what if the security was in the crowd, blending in just as he was? And what if they were a hero or someone of the sorts? If they were durable enough, and had experience handling energy they would be unaffected by his Sith Eyes, which would draw him out as everyone else cowered in fear.

No, that's too risky. What if they were not experienced enough or durable enough, if that were to happen I would be left exposed and I still wouldn't know who the security was. In that case,

Anakin walked over to a fire alarm at the edge of the crowd, and pulled it. Instantly the blaring sound of the alarm screamed throughout the halls of the art gallery. Anakin's logic behind this tactic was that he would either be left alone with the paintings after everyone had left, or he would be left facing the security guard(s).

Your move.

Your move.

A fair haired guy had caught Clark's attention before, the way he looked at the paintings with intent. Clark had assumed he was merely a passionate lover of art. But as he went on to observe the other people he saw the same man inch over to the fore alarm and pull it.

(Well that didn't take long)

"Perhaps not..." Clark whispered as he pocketed the expensive company given camera.

People began exiting by the numbers, despite not even sighting a fire. He knew this mam was up to no good, and the only reason for him pulling a false alarm would be to get all these people out.

(If you leave with them you'll never get to surprise him, and if you attack him now your cover is forever blown)

Clark stared at the man from between the people with a determined glare. He was not about to give up and have this man win. He pulled the straps on his camera pack tight to his waist so it would fall, ducked his head low so his hair came down in his face, and then shot off in a blur of speed.

Using the exiting people for cover Clark meandered between them, he made sure not to bump into anyone as he did and used the sound of the alarm to his advantage.

He swiped at the man's calf muscle as he sped past him, lifting him off the ground and sending him in a nauseating spin head over heels. Clark continues his run up the wall and then jumps down on the man from above.

(Take him out while he's disoriented)

Then, before the man would be able to gather his bearings and differentiate the ceiling from the ground Clark plummeted down like a meteor, clenched his fists and delivered a crushing blow to his chest area. Clark made sure to pull his punch however, and supplied enough energy to only knock this unknown person out.

And he would do it all before everyone left the building, too fast for anyone to register. To the outsider they would simply see a man flip as if he slipped on something and then he lying face up on the ground. Out cold.

Technique Name: Godspeed

Spoiler

EXP: 10
Type: Mutant
Rank: C
Description: Using his superhuman physiology, Clark is able to reach great speed. By pushing from the ground in either a run or flight Clark can reach incredible speeds only appearing as a blue and red blur to mundane eyes. This ability grants him a boost of +5 Speed. While using Godspeed Clark is unable to use any of his other superpowers however as all his focus is on this otherworldly speed and keeping himself from wrecking stuff.

After Anakin pulled the alarm, he had looked around to see if anyone was not moving. That's when he saw a man on the other side of the room staring at him. The two locked eyes for a moment before he ducked down low and ran off. Anakin smiled at how efficient his plan had been. Unfortunately, there were a mass of people behind, in front of, and next to the man running towards Anakin who would be caught in the crossfire of his counter attack if he were to use a force push. Instead of that, Anakin curled the fingers of his right hand inwards, the cold metal of the prosthetic creaking slightly as he did so. Seeing the clothes and hair of the people who were being ran past flap like a tornado just hit them, Anakin could tell where his opponent was. He successfully stopped his opponent dead in his tracks by using a technique called "Force Pressure", and a variation of it called "Force Choke". With this, Anakin had used the force to apply pressure around the man's neck like he were being choked. He quickly lifted his hand into the air, causing his opponent to rise up off of the ground three feet.

You underestimate my power!

Force Pressure

Spoiler

Technique Name: Force Pressure
EXP: 20
Type: Magic
Rank: B
Description:
The user controls the force in such a way that they apply pressure to objects. There are two main variations in how this technique can be used, each quite deadly and powerful. The first, is Force Choke, and the other is Force Crush

Force Choke:
The user applies pressure around the neck of someone by curling the fingers of one of their hands inwards and often also extending that arm. By raising the arm, the user can lift the targeted person into the air up to three feet. While being choked, the target takes 50% damage of the user's Energy attribute every turn, and after two of the user's turns (including the one it starts) of continuous Force Choke, they faint due to a lack of oxygen in their lungs and brain.

Force Crush:
The user applies large amounts of pressure to an object or person using the force, crushing them or it. This technique does 60% damage of the user's Energy attribute to the target, and can leave them crippled with bones sticking out of their body, and internal organs crushed, if focused on a single area or limb. If the opponent's Durability attribute is enough to counter at least half of the damage given by this attack, then the user's Energy attribute, this technique will only be able to break their skin and make it harder to move. The effects aren't instantaneous.

-Force Crush can be used twice per battle, with a two turn cool down
-When someone is under the effects of Force Crush, they suffer -15 to their Speed attribute
-Force Choke can be used an infinite number of times, but there must be a three turn cool down between usages

Anakin activated his Sith Eyes as he held the man in place, striking fear into his soul as he dangled there helplessly. Anakin held out his other hand in front of him in case Clark were to try anything.

Whether you are a Villain, Mercenary, or even a fellow Hero, I shall show mercy to none who stand in my path. Anakin roared, voicing his belief that he was in fact a Hero, that he was walking the path of justice.

Sith Eyes

Spoiler

Technique Name: Sith Eyes
EXP: 5
Type: Magic
Rank: D
Description:
By focusing on his emotions and letting them flow outwards, Anakin's eyes take on an orange tint. While in this mode, Anakin's intelligence levels get a +5 boost, as they work similarly to the way that the Sharingan works (in that respect). Sith Eyes also can strike fear into anyone who's total number of points in Energy and Durability are below 90. This fear makes it so the opponent cannot get within short range of Anakin without feeling a great sense of fear that weakens their Speed, Strength and Intelligence stats by -1.

, Anakin lacks the ability to track and restrict Clark so he concedes a crippling punch. I hope he doesn't have asthma.

It was a merciful blow, and a fast one too. Clark quickly adjusted himself and checked the man's pulse to see if he had accidentally killed him; he hadn't, and was relieved.

The cops and firefighters came busting in afterward, including the Chief and Louvre, the owner of the famous paintings.

"Everybody clear the building!" yelled the egotistical police Chief.

"My paintings! My precious paintings! Are they harmed?" Louvre asked as he went to survey the exhibits, he could care less about the knocked out man on the ground, he even stepped over him.

The Chief pointed at Clark, "You there! Get away from that man."

Clark raised his hands and lifted his camera with the most innocent face he could muster. "Yes sir, I was just taking up my camera which fell, I'm a journalist."

"You look damn familiar too. Alright scram. Private! Wipe this scum off the floor and throw him into custody."

Clark made his way through the doors, walking as humanly slow as possible. A smile curled up his lips as he left the museum, and it was because of his pride

This hero thing was beginning to become more pleasurable. He might even be able to do it full time and leave his day job. Maybe.
