Raimon City

"am I really?" he said "or are you?" he asked "heroes, living off the support of the Government" he said "A hero is not someone who fights crime, a hero is an icon, a beacon of hope of what our world should be" he said "....yet they get tossed around in the news like a movie star, using their influence for personal advancements" he said "A hero is not allowed to be a mortal, they must be a God among men, a pinnacle, the ones we aspire to be, and as is.... all of them, every single one of them, is tarnishing the name "hero"" he said pointing Excalibur at her

she charged in swinging at him, sending a spell to Rose. "Duke is here! I need help!" Rose got telepathically in her mind.

"Duke's here, we have to go now!" Rose said, rushing off towards her, telling Lit and Nyx as she left

Kiju took off, listing from a distance jumping up to the fight, and roaring as she charged Duke.

"No more holding back" he said, avoiding the attack from Kiju, kneeing her in the gut

Nyx grabbed Literature, the pair teleporting to the location
Rose joined the pair blasting heat at him

He avoided the attack, moving into her, throwing a dagger into her arm

Kiju shouted the dagger piecing her arm.
Literature charges in at him swinging his sword.

He blocks it with his shield "...tell me boy... what makes you a hero worthy of the title?" he asked, knocking his sword back with Excalibur

"We don't need a reason to take you down!" Techromancer said, jumping in trying to grab his shield only for Duke to back off 
"This world needs heroes, not pretenders" he said

"Oh your one to talk." Kiju hissed. "Replacing the word king with hero."

"I can't make right choices always, I'm still human." Literature said. "But this is one I can make."

"Dear girl, realise that is why I stand here, and not where you are" he said "I am no hero, but I intend to make one" he said "...you failed to be that one" Duke said "I want one of you to end this game of mine" he said, avoiding Techromancer "...not this one, one full of hatred and vengeance in his eyes"

"You sick freak" Techromancer said

"Nor the one blasting me with heat, who is solely doing it because it is what is expected of her" he said

"You know nothing!" Rose said

"Nor the one who's goal seems to be fame and fortune" he said looking at Spike who just growled

"Nor the one who's only here because her future was ruined" he said refering to Bo

"Nor the side kick, who can't even put the needs of others in front of himself" he said refering to Literature

Literature and Bo both step back, at the ready.

There is a low humming noise. Green bolts start blasting Duke in the back, Outcast holding a ride of alien makes coldly looking down the sight, not letting up her assult.

He is hit, but slowly gets up "....not like this, not by your hands" he said, pulling out a bomb, creating a smoke screen for an escape

Outcast holds fire, as Duke got away. "Lost eyes on target!"

"...I'll get that Child of Unwed woman" Techromancer said

".... he will have guards and knights all around as well" Spike said "think smart about this" he said

"We let him go for now." Literature said with a sigh. "We still have a job to do.

Zacura walks up to Rose. "Good work."

As the night came, a large crowd started to form as the heroes stood around watching the show, Spike seemingly very nervous
