Deadblood (Absolute & Mortal Champion)
Don't forget to kill Philip!
Deadblood and Sheri moved as fast as they could, trying desperately to avoid the falling shelves!!!!! When they did finally stop, there was only the sound of their footsteps, the fire sprinklers, and the fire itself, still continuing to spread. They stopped moving, listening for the footsteps or any other sound that might give away the masked man's position.
"Why'd he stop?" Sheri whispered, glancing around nervously as she spoke, though their vision was limited in the fire.
"Maybe he knocked a shelf over onto himself," Deadblood replied, knowing that wasn't likely, but at the same time, hopeful that the masked man had indeed done just that.
Moving again, they headed down the nearest aisle, but they didn't get far when another wave a flames cut off their path, tearing through the aisle and forcing Deadblood and Sheri to quickly turn around and head back in the direction they came from!!!!!!!!! They quickly turned at the end of the aisle, the flames crashing into into more shelves against the wall. Seconds later, an explosion then ripped through that area of the department store, knocking the two of them hard onto the tile floor and sending broken pieces of shelves and the fiery remains of products that lined the shelves everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"What the fuck exploded?!" Deadblood asked as they dragged themselves up off of the floor.
"Paint thinner. I saw it.,"Sheri answered. "That shelf was stocked full of it."
"I suddenly feel like that if we do die in here," he said, "it's going to be flames or smoke that kill us, not him."
"To be fair, he is the cause of the flames and smokes," she responded, "so either way, he would be the cause of our deaths."
"You're fucking right about that!" the masked man suddenly said, having managed to get behind them, swinging his katana at them and forcing them to quickly jump back out of the way of the sharp blade. "One way or another, you two will be dying by my hand tonight!"
Deadblood started to back away, but he noticed that Sheri was standing her ground and he soon realized why when a can full of paint came flying off of a shelf, lid ripping off in mid-air, before dumping its contents onto the masked man!!!!!!! The masked man had been able to get that telekinetic shield of his up in time, but he couldn't simply remove the shield as the paint completely covered the head area of his shield, effectively blinding him, at least for a moment!!!!!!!!!
Taking advantage of the masked man's current distraction, Deadblood built up another ball of crimson light, Sheri stepping back to avoid touching it herself!!! When he had a large orb of the crimson light formed, he launched it at the masked man, certain he'd rid be able to rid them of their attacker once and for all, but at that very moment, the masked man sent out blast of telekinetic energy from his body, sending the paint splashing harmlessly away!!!!! Upon seeing the orb of crimson light racing towards him, the masked man quickly back flipped out of the way, landing on the top of a shelf, before leaping down towards Deadblood, katana aimed to impale him upon impact, forcing him to raise his own katana to deflect the masked man's blade!!!!!!!!!
Before the masked man could try anything else though, Sheri grabbed another can of paint and swung it as hard as she could into the back of his head, dropping him to the floor, one hand on the back of his head as Deadblood and Sheri then spun around and ran further away from the masked man.
"You fucking bitch!" the masked man shouted after them. "Maybe I should drown you in a tub full of paint since you like to play with it so much!"
Deadblood and Sheri made their way down another aisle, away from the flames, which were still spreading, though at a slower rate without the masked man's assistance. They knew they didn't have long before the masked man would be back up, but it would give them a little time to plan their next move.
"What the fuck are we going to do?" Sheri asked as they reached the escalators, following Deadblood back down them.
"I don't know!" Deadblood answered sharply. In a calmer tone, he then said, "We're bound to discover this guy's weakness. We just have to keep up our attacks against him. Eventually we're going to figure out how to knock him on his ass and keep him there."
"Eventually? Are you serious?" Sheri asked. "After all that we've tried against him, I'm not sure anything will keep him down!"
Before Deadblood could respond as they reached the bottom of the escalators, another bottle of motor oil sailed over their heads. Knowing what was coming, he quickly grabbed Sheri and shoved her out of the way, following her, able to feel the heat on the back of his neck of another wave of flames coming down the escalators!!!!!!!!!!! The flames reached a section of clothes, quickly igniting the items on the countless hangers!!!!!!!!
A moment later, the masked man made his way down the escalators too, another bottle of motor oil in hand as he looked around for Deadblood and Sheri, but they had already gone into hiding again. It looked like the chase wasn't over just yet.
