Hunted (IC)
Subject 19, codename Jaguar, was running through the forest. Her heightened senses could tell that somebody was chasing her, and somehow managing to keep up. She had been spliced with all the enhanced senses. Hearing, sight, smell..but her true powers lay in the elemental areas. Which had been useless against her stalker.
Heart pounding, she made her way through the jungle that she knew like the back of her hand. Finally, she no longer heard her pursuer..she had lost whoever it was. Near collapsing against a tree, she tried to gather her breath.
Then she heard them again, way to close, somehow they had fooled her senses. A figure emerged from the shadows.
"YOU??! No..it can't be you. Why would you hunt us..why would you hunt ME?! We had something special..."
The figure grinned a cruel grin. "Had. It's nothing personal. I just want your powers. All of the powers." The figure closed in.
"No..you will not have them." she concentrates..and a blue spirit energy flees from her body, disappearing into the jungle.
"Pity. I'll have to track it down now. Unfortunately, you also know about the serum. I can't have somebody changing my powers before I have them all. You are too dangerous to let live."
As the figure closed in the woman smiled. "I am not the only one, and there are more then a few vials of serum. You'll never find them all."
The figure shrugs. "You forget..your power is not all I am after.."
A scream is heard through the forest..then..silence.

#VI listened to the screams for a time, and then he headed back to his improvised hut, arriving almost instantly with almost no effort, no energy wasted.
Just like that girl's life. He thought bitterly to himself. No matter. Lights! He snapped his fingers and began to glow. #VI tried to remember more of his life... The scientists had failed to completely wipe his memories.
Alan. Again with that one name... Perhaps it was his own after all. Transcontinental Railroads... New york... Iraq... The Red Scare... Commi-Japs, something struck him wrong about that particular phrase... Eisenhower... How to start a fire. Finally, something useful.
He gathered all of the twigs and logs that he needed to make the fire, but was somewhat stumped when he found that he didn't have any of the flint or steel that was required by his memories.
"Improvise then you big idiot." he mumbled, imitating... He couldn't remember who he was imitating, just that she had somehow been important to him.
Extending his palm towards the carefully arranged sticks and twigs, #VI sent a blast of raw, burning light into the heart of the mass. Instantly, the leaves and smallest twigs lit, and the rest soon followed. #VI... No, Alan you blockhead. Your name is Alan. stopped feeding the heating light to the flames.
From his vantage point on the cliff, Alan watched the blue light flee through the forest, cooking the small boar that he had caught this morning.

((are we scattered around the world or in one specific location?))
Blood dripped from her mouth, and feral rage was seen in her eyes. Near her feet lyed a young man with a terrible wound his throat. He tried to rape Eva, but fell to his death. The last thing he saw was a ferocious snout of a black wolf, reaching for his throat.
Eva calmed herself and reverted back to her human self. She then searched the corpse for anything of value. She found a wallet with some cash and several strange plastic cards. She also found a strange device with a screen and numbered buttons((a cell phone)), a lighter and a pack of cigarettes. The man was probably part of a hunter group, judging from the rifle that he carried.
After hearing some voices she quickly took what she found and fled deeper into the woods.

((Most are still on 'the island' unless they specify otherwise in their character sheet. However, just because the government has forgotten about Project Double X, doesn't mean the island hasn't been found by hunters/pirates, etc))
"We can't keep going like this." commented XIII "We are being picked off one by one. Sticking together is the only chance for survival." Several others murmured agreement.
"Yeah, so you can stick a knife in our back? No thanks. The others were just weak. Whatever is hunting us comes after me, and they will find out that was a huge mistake." Growled X
"Think you are forgetting that 3 wasn't exactly a pushover. Enhanced speed, sonic manipulation, and the ability to become invisible. I seen her sound blast go through a tank." replied VIII
"Nothing compared to me, I think there might be one other here who could go toe to toe with me. Maybe. Let them come, I'll destroy them."
"Then..why haven't you?"
"I don't know who it is .. yet. Sure I could just start killing everybody, but I want to make sure before I do."

((Is it day or night time?))
Alan had only watched the blue figure with some mild interest for maybe a minute before his hawk-like eyes picked up the group. now, who could they be? Never seen a group so large before on this little "Slice of paradise" of ours. Slightly amused and curious, he worked his way down to the group itself, arriving so quickly that almost no one noticed, and the one who did was to shocked to say anything.
"Nothing compared to me, I think there might be one other here who could go toe to toe with me. Maybe. Let them come, I'll destroy them."
Is that a fact? Alan asked himself, amused. The fool didn't know what he was talking about. If you think that you are the most threatening thing to me in this entire forest...
"I don't know who it is .. yet. Sure I could just start killing everybody, but I want to make sure before I do."
The girl who had spotted Alan finally was able to say, "Who is that?"
As the other subjects turned to where she was pointing, Alan placed himself behind X, standing on his tip-toes to say, "Boo." Before returning to his original position just a few meters away from the group. "I hope that I'm not interrupting something terribly important, am I?"

((It's getting dark so lets call it Dusk))
X doesn't jump, but you have a feeling it took all of his willpower not to.
VII answers "No, not really. We've found another of us decapitated and shriveled. Called herself Jaguar. That is four. There is only 16 of us left, we're pretty sure one of us is the one killing the rest."
X shrugs "My skin has been made the into the strongest substance known. I'm a walking, talking tank, complete with the ability to explode things with a thought. What have I to be afraid of? Maybe..and I am not sure about this, two, he's one scary dude..but nobody knows where he got off too."

"Hm, well then, it really isn't my problem then, is it? None of us could catch me, not even the warper. So, I guess this means so long for now!" Moving between VII and X rapidly enough that it sounded like there was a haunting echo, Alan promised, "But we will be seeing each other, very, very soon. I'll keep my eyes peeled for II... If I think that it is worth it. Shalom!"
And then Alan was gone, back to his hut before the sun stopped giving him power. he would have to conserve what remained in case a wild animal or the killer found him... VI would not be caught with his pants down.
Where were all these random quotes coming from?

He knew Eva sensed him long before she saw him, and his approach was not exactly stealthy. He wanted her to know she was here, and to know he was not there to harm her.
He had forgotten his name, not that it mattered, he was Two. He would always be Two. Though he remembered some General once giving him the nickname "Silent Death". His powers were to blend in anywhere, like a chameleon..and to kill anything he touched if he desired. He didn't want to kill anybody here though. Not even the one hunting them all.
"It's dangerous out here alone. There is a predator loose..and I don't mean you. The one I am talking about might even be able to sneak up on you."

- Two. You have been following me since I killed that man, have you?- Eva said while looking at Two's supposed location. - Come out so I can see you. It's annoying when I don't see to who I talk.

"You are much better then I thought." two steps out. A young blond boy, obviously early teens, with shockingly blue eyes. Yet his face tells of years of harsh living. "Of course, I don't know your abilities..but I had a suspicion you would know where I was."

- I'm a shifter. I change into werebeasts. Then I have the abilities that the animal has. Your scent is strong, it was easy to pick it up. There are other people here. Hunters by the looks of it. Their boat could be a ticket out of here.- She said.

He nods "They might also be in danger. I doubt our hunter wants to share his or her prey, or would have a problem dispatching them. There is safety in numbers. Perhaps we should find some of the others? You should lead the way..my powers really don't help here."

- Stand back- Eva said and got on all fours. She started shifting, her human features were quickly changed into canine. She growed in height and turned musculous. Her entire body was covered in dense black fur. She even grew a bushy tail. Eva stood up and almost mauled Two with her claws. They were near Two's face, when Eva stopped and sniffed him. She then lowered her claws and sniffed the air. After a few moments she nodded for Two to follow her and started running westwards.

Two followed Eva, and shortly they come across the three others still gathered talking.
X threw up his hands. "Fine, we stick together..though I still don't know why I need you two. You two need me though, so I guess I can protect you."
XIII rolled his eyes. "Oh gee thanks. You are so generous."

Rupert Fiddles walked softly over the fallen leaves, sounds all around buzzing in his ears. He looked like your avarage man, nothing seemed off at all. His eyes were gentle and caring, and he always carried a smile on his lips. Whenever he spoke it was a soft calm voice that was heard, no anger and nothing to reveal his nature. His fingers brushed against a tree as he passed, feeling the rough bark. He came to a halt and looked up.
"The forest is so vast." he hummed. "Will there ever be an end to it."
He grabbed one of the limbs and started climbing up in the tree. It didn't take long before he was starting hum as he climbed up and up and up, and finally he reached the upper branches of the tree and could see the open sky. The sun was going down, dusk was approaching. His favorite time of the day. Rupert smiled and tilted his head.
"How beautiful." he murmured, he remained until the sun was entirely gone and darkness consumed him. Then he looked around. "Now how do I get down?"
He was genuinly confused, not having thought of the consequences of getting stuck in the top of the tree. He tried getting down but slipped fast and had to cling to the tree not to fall.
Oh no, I cannot get down. I am going to die up here. Rupert was suddenly afraid and started to shiver.
"Pull yourself together, Rupert. You can get down here easily!"
No I can't, it's so far down.
"One branch at the time, climb now old man!"
Oh god oh god
Rupert climbed slowly down, taking his time and being careful which branch he used. An ant walked over his hand, then stopped abruptly and fell off. Rupert looked at it in disgust.
Ugly insect. he thought, shaking his head to get rid of the feeling.
"Dead insect."
A light shone up in his eyes and he jumped down to a lower branch. He laughed and jumped to the other one.
"I don't see what is the big problem about this, it's so easy!"
Be careful!
He reached the bottom and landed hard on the ground, falling to his side. He smiled an got to his feet.
"And that's how you do that." he told his other self.

Eva leaped and landed near the group, reverting to her human form.
- We must get off the island.- She said.- Hunters that came here must have a boat. And they must be jerks, because I had to kill one.- The proof of it was the blood dried around Eva's mouth.- I don't think that they'll give it up willingly. We must reach the mainland or it's a matter of time before we'll all killed on this rock- She quickly spilled her concerns.

Vorg stood perfectly still as the loggers waded through the stream. Then, when the last one was almost to the end, climbing out, he charged. The first one didn't even know what hit him, nor the second one. The third tried to block himself, but Vorg simply ripped his arm off and punched him in the ribcage. This caused him too much time. He heard a "zzz" sound and the fourth logger charged at him with his chainsaw sinking into Vorg's leg. Vorg roared in pain and punched him once, twice, three times into the face, snarling as the man flew back and smashed into a tree. He then pulled the chainsaw out of his leg and promptly sliced the fifth logger in half. Then, he looked up. The sixth man was sprinting as hard as he could. Vorg thought about giving chase, but he knew he didn't have enough time. So, instead, he concentrated, and the earth rose up and enveloped him, swallowing him. The giant man grunted, but in a moment, the short burst of exhaustion passed. His leg had healed itself by then, so he promptly headed to his home.

Alan picked up another stick for the fire. He looked around again, making sure that he could find everyone trapped on this island with him still. 1,2,7,8,9,10,11,12 was still nowhere to be found... Either dead or not on the island,14... Where's 13? Ah well, 15,16,17,18, 19 is missing as well, same with 20. And I'm 6, leaving two or three of us unaccounted for... With one working his or her way through the others to try and kill the rest. Crap, where are those other three?
He was walking back to his hut when he heard a small snap as something moved towards him in the woods to his left. Instantly, Alan sped to his max and skidded to a halt next to X and VII.
"Sooo, yeah. A little paranoid thanks to you two. Have room for your speedy daredevil of a man? Or a good scout/ flashlight/ fire starter?" He hurriedly asked the group.

Island.
Eight nods. "The more of us that stick together, the harder it will be for whoever is killing us to pick us off."
Ten laughs "Except most likely one of us is the killer.."
Thirteen reluctantly nods "That maybe true, but if they make a move at the wrong time, they will be facing too many even for them to take out."
Two looks around. "So, we go after whatever brought the hunters here?"
"Unless one of us has a power that can move us from one place to another faster."
Elsewhere in the world...in a clearing in the jungle near where Vorg is..
"Doc, you sure this is the stuff?" a grizzled looking soldier holds up a flower, looking disgusted.
"Yes you neanderthal, that is it. CAREFUL! Its taken three generations of my family to unearth the whereabouts of these plants!"
"Don't get your knickers in a twist, it's just a plant!"
"JUST a plant??! That plant is the key ingredient to my Grandfathers legacy. A formula that will make men gods. The US government foolishly destroyed my Grandfathers work last time, but this time..this time we will make an unstoppable army of supermen. Already my two partners are collecting similar samples in different parts of the world. Every plant counts, however, so make sure to treat them with kids gloves."
"Alright, alright. Ugly little plant though."

"Ha, sorry, not all of you. Not tonight, at least. If you waited for the morning, I could probably scout the entire island out and have you there in one, maybe two minutes... Except you, ten. Too large for me to lift, honestly." Alan told them. "The warper, maybe, could move us halfway to our goal before he collapsed, but I'm solar powered, sorry. If you want, I could go scout out the fortress-like building that we all started in, though." Also, this gives me a chance to check up on twenty...
