“Was he that angsty before becoming a superhero?” Centurion asked after Jay stepped out of the HQ. “He used to be in the Wolfpack, before his dad got killed.” Will commented. There was an awkward silence to kill all awkward silences. Centurion didn’t know these kids personally, only that they were locals who were given power tied to the Golden Dragon. Centurion wasn’t a great detective, but the way the young hero in front of him just spoke he could tell that the two Dragons were related somehow. He had to do something to ease the tension… “So… Dragon 1… Dragon 2?” Centurion asked wondering what to call Will. “There’s a group on the ‘net calling me Blaze…” Will commented as Centurion sat in front of the large window at his monitoring station. “Well… Blaze… what’ll it be? Or do I need to ask?” Centurion asked. “Yeah… I’m going to the retro arcade.” Blaze replied getting himself hyped. “I didn’t have the chance to ask the other Dragon….” Centurion began saying before Will corrected him. “Firebrand.” The younger Dragon stated. “…okay, do YOU want company? My drones are long range now and Midtown shouldn’t be beyond their limits. I can be another pair of eyes.” Centurion explained. Minutes Later, Midtown… It was at the bottom of a large hill, on the end of a shopping mall long past its prime. There was a creek behind it, and the mall itself was off of a major highway. However the pavement was cracked and the parking lot was large and vacant of any cars except for on the far side of the building. There was still one discount beer and tobacco store willing to attempt to do business. The employees and customers are usually the ones calling in the reports of the lizard creature near the arcade. When Will arrived the drone was still a few minutes behind him. Through a crack in some wood covering the windows the Battletoad called Rash prepared himself for a fight. He wondered why the guy in the fancy suit was just standing around outside. “I’m not waiting for your backup to get here!” Rash screamed, leaping towards the Dragon themed hero with a Big Bad Boot attack. Mid-air the Battletoad’s foot morphed into a giant steel toed boot with spikes and caught the hero off his guard. 13 – Blaze [-2 for Rash’s Sig Move] 15 – Rash “What the…” Will said out loud, picking himself up off of the busted pavement. Centurion’s drone finally hit the scene. The Toad’s arms morphed together to form a double bladed battle axe and came down with another strike. If not for the Dragon’s enhanced attributes and durability he would’ve already been done for. 12 – Blaze [-1 for Rash’s attack] 15 – Rash “Where are the Topians?! And what have you done with my Battletoad bros?!” Rash questioned, as Will attempted to get his wits about him. It wasn’t every day that a guy got tossed around by a six foot tall frog man. “Maybe I was just here for the retro arcade…” Blaze muttered grabbing the Toad’s ankle and flying into the sky. Within moments he threw him to the pavement, unsurprisingly the amphibian bounced. 12 – Blaze 14 – Rash [-1 for being thrown] “Retro? How long was I trapped in that game?!” Rash questioned, looking around at all the bits of newer technology sprinkled in the city. The flying cars, the large hologram billboards, it was a lot for the teenage hero to take in. “I don’t know what a Topian is, or what you’re talking about… but I think we got off on the wrong foot.” Will said extending his hand to help the Battletoad to his feet.
