	"[color=899499]Hot Topic,[/color]" Kane repeated quietly. As he looked down at his wardrobe, he thought [i][color=899499]I got most of this stuff from Target...[/color][/i]  His sense of focus sharpened once more when the room began strobing with blinding light to the soundtrack of the fat man's blatantly racist rhetoric.  Arcs of lightening shot out in various directions.  Kane could only watch on helplessly as the would-be heroes reacted in various ways.  The distance between he and them was too great to traverse and be of any help.  Nevertheless, he had to do something.  Just as Kane was about to engage in a sprint toward the action, another arc of lightening shot out seemingly intended specifically for him.

	Kane was fast, but not faster than the speed of light.  As his eyes were in the process of closing in anticipation for the shock of his life, he heard the sound of the electricity crashing into something just in front of him.  With a split second of a glance, he could see that the arc had collided with a sort of force field mere inches away from his body.  Soon the lightening dissipated as well as the barrier along with it.  Kane's eyes were as wide as ever.  [i][color=899499]I'm... I'M INVINCIBLE!  How did I even do that?[/color][/i]  He looked at the palms of his hands again with utter confusion.  He simply had no idea how his powers worked.

	"[color=7adc6f]I really hope none of you are with him,[/color]" yelled the freckled woman with the gray jacket from across the way.  Kane then looked on as a robot - [color=899499][i]wait, [/i]is [i]that a robot?[/i][/color] - just barely recovered from a separate electrical attack. It seemed the android was also able to conjure up a force field of sorts. [color=899499][i]Amazing! We can both do it![/i][/color]

	"[color=9e0b0f]If you're all here to help, I suggest we try to isolate Thundercloud![/color]" cried out another of the heroes as he floated around the room launching projectiles with explosive results at the storm troopers.  [color=899499][i]Cool, cool,[/i][/color] he thought to himself. [color=899499][i] Those are some neat tricks.[/i][/color]

	When his gaze returned back down to the action, a look of horror fell over him as he bore witness to the robot suddenly crumbling into a lifeless heap [i] [color=899499]Holy shit,[/color][/i] Kane thought.  [i][color=899499]It must've used up the last of its batteries[/color][/i].  He quickly began scanning the room to see if he could locate some sort of outlet as he jogged over.

	"[color=899499]It's okay, I'm he-... -re...[/color]"  Kane's voice trailed off as he looked at the fallen android.  Something didn't look right. Kane hesitantly lifted the arm to try and discern how the wiring worked, but there was no evidence of motors or circuitry at all.  "[color=899499]HooOOoo,[/color]" he moaned out shakily as sudden realization hit.  He instantly dropped the thing's arm.  "[color=899499]Haunted mannequin,[/color]" he concluded with a shiver.  "[color=899499]Big nope! Uh uh. Fuck that noise, fuck that noise all day,[/color]" he muttered as his attention fell on the storm trooper reinforcements.  He couldn't waste any more time.  He needed to get back in the game.  "[color=899499]Alright, enough of this.  Let's crack some skulls.[/color]"

	Despite the confusing circumstance, confidence began to swell within Kane as he made powerful strides toward one of the oncoming storm troopers.  Brows furrowed, lips curled and hands balled into tight fists, Kane pulled his right arm back readying a hell of a hook.  He didn't have super strength, that was for sure, but the force of his punch was still not to be trifled with.  However, just as he was about to spring his blow upon the storm trooper's head... another storm trooper beat him to the punch... [i]literally[/i].

	"[color=899499]The hell...?![/color]" Standing there, confused as ever, Kane looked on as a couple of storm troopers began fighting their fellow comrades.  "[color=899499]What the shit is this?![/color]" he cried out, feeling robbed. He just shook his head in bewilderment as the in-fighting continued and tried to take in the rest of the scene unfolding before him.

	"[color=899499]Come on. Come [i]ON[/i].  Let me hit something![/color]" he growled under his own breath.  The amassed heroes seemed to be holding their own pretty well.  Kane wasn't even sure where his skills would best be served.  Just then, he felt something push him from behind.  As he turned around, he realized that one of the storm troopers had stumbled backwards by accident and ran into him.  Slowly, the two met eachother's gaze.  A gradual, mischievous grin formed on Kane's face.  All of his pent up energy exploded out into a hell of a punch that almost immediately broke the storm trooper's nose and sent him falling back, unconscious.

	"[color=899499][i]Ha![/i] I got that one!  Everyone saw that right?!  MidKnight, motherfucker![/color]"  Kane gloated.  Afterward, he cocked his head to the side sharply, causing his neck to crack and, with a smile that refused to leave, he shouted out, "[color=899499]Who's next?[/color]"  That's when he saw it; a massive box truck that appeared to be steering without a driver.  "[color=899499]You're kidding me.[/color]" Cautiously, he backed away from the truck's intended path.  It had to be the same ghost that made the dummy move before. 

	Not wanting any part of that, he decided to pick up one of the automatic guns from a fallen storm trooper.  [color=899499][i]Screw trying to be fancy[/i][/color], he thought to himself as he aimed it toward the direction of Thundercloud.  To his surprise, the ghost truck appeared to be headed toward that same destination.

	[color=899499][i]If that thing doesn't take you out, these bullets are going to find a new home in your knee caps[/i][/color], he silently declared as his finger rested just off the trigger.

	[color=899499][i]...and then I'm shooting out those tires.  That ghost better not follow me back home, I'mma be pissed.[/i][/color]
