Super Me

[Spectre195]

That night Derick has manage to stop 2 muggers and was high on the aderline. He might not have made any headway with the Kerrel case, but at least he managed to help someone. He was on patrol the rest of the night with a smile on his face when he heard a bloodcurddling scream. The hairs on the back of his neck stood up. Could this be related to the Kerrel case?

It felt good for Derick to help someone out after a long aggravating dead end with his last case. His road that high for as long as he could throughout the night. It came to a screeching halt as soon as he heard that scream. Derick quickly placed his arm blades together to create a plate for him to stand on. He powered it up with some energy and hovered as fast as he could towards the source of the sound. Too many times this perp, if the same one, has gotten away. ‘No more!’ Derick thought.

Derick zoomed through the air as fast as he could towards the sounds of the scream. He didn’t care who saw him, that’s what his disguise was for. He would not let this monster get away again. Not this time. He zoomed into an alley as another scream resonated. A foul putrid smell that was familiar the Derick filled his nose; the smell of blood and death. In the distance he saw a large figure holding up a man by the throat. Derick could not tell what it was, it wore baggy jeans and a hoody that covered its head. Two more bodies laid at its feet, blood pooling around them. Suddenly Derick heard the shriek of a girl, who couldn’t have been much older than a teenager.

“You killed me! Why! I didn’t see anything. I told you. Why didn’t you believe me!”

Derick looked around for the girl but she wasn’t in sight.

“You could have just let me go!” The voice sounded like it was crying now, “Why couldn’t you just let me go?”

Suddenly Derick realized the voice was coming from the large figure, it was talking to the man it was holding by his neck. The figure took his other hand and slashed at the face of the man, causing him to shriek in pain.

Furry built in Derick as he watched the noticed the figure and the dead bodies around it. ‘This is the ******** that has alluded me so far. I should have been better. He will pay!’ Derick thought to himself. He landed quietly down the alleyway and waited for a good moment to strike. He knew it had to be soon because it was holding a man up by the neck.

Derick’s jaw dropped as soon as he heard the girls voice screech from out of the figures mouth. ‘So that is why I keep hearing the voices before I find dead bodies. This thing is projecting them somehow.’ He was so shocked he missed his chance to act before the figure killed the man. As soon as it struck him down all breaks were off for Derick. He would not let the figure get away.

“Stop right there you fiend. This is the end to your crimes. Come quietly or I will be forced to act aggressively.” Derick approached the figure from down the alley. All the while he approached he was building up energy from around him. He held his arm blades together to form a shield that covered most of his mask. “Put your hands in the air and turn around slowly.”

The man turned and faced Derick, he was a man around 30 with scruff covering his jaw. He had short black hair and dull grey eyes. He scowled at Derick, "Leave me alone!" the girl's voice shouted again, emanating from the man's mouth. The figure then seemed to notice the energy building around Derick and looked off put, "What the hell" the man said in the girl's voice, "are you?" as he finished the sentence his voice cracked and dropped several tones. Sounding more like you would expect from a man that look like him. His dull eyes began to shine a bit more naturally as his voice changed.

The man look side to side in confusion then threw himself down an alley to his right trying to escape Derick. He took off at a run. When Derick moved after him he turned around pulling out a pistol and taking several pot shots at Derick. None of them hit him, but they came close. Too close for Derick's liking; however this man was he knew how to use a gun that's for sure.
