Tran’s supply of eggs and pomegranate juice have run out at the MBI what with Tessie been in hiding and the pixies gone. Because they were the main ones to keep him steady in what he needed, the last minute discovery of being out forced Tran to try and hurry to the nearest supermarket to get more. Unfortunately his transformation occurs before he can get what he needs, and it’s up to Tasha and Hans who were grocery shopping at the time to stop him from harming anyone and get him back to normal.
Later Renegade seeks out Bandit to ask if he’ll allow Yang to steal some nuclear fuel rods for a bomb she’s planning on having made to drop on the city. Bandit gives her a more sinister idea which Renegade will consider before sharing her plans in more detail with Bandit.
<Hans_Lynx> RPG GO!
<Hans_Lynx> ::iiiis going to the supermarket with Tasha? XD::

<Hans_Lynx> It’s honey hickory smoked, how hard is that? Really how hard? ::grinning as he gets the cart from the rows at the front and goes on in::
<Tran> ::gripping his stomuch and peeks out the doorway… needs the eggs and needs them now… gulps and takes a deep breath before cloking against the building and starts to run on all fours for the store he saw on the net… gritting his teeth!::
<Tasha_Lynx> ::snickers:: You honestly should see how many choices they have. then you’d understand.
<Hans_Lynx> <citizens>::eek! what was that?::
<Tran> ::knocks down a few passers by as he growns stronger… wincing and panting, his body shakes as he declokes as he runs through the automatic door::
<Hans_Lynx> I have seen. Only ten kinds.
<Tasha_Lynx> There’s more than ten! More like fifteen or twenty! ::snickers;: besides. Stop picking on me else you’ll get some of that Oscar Meyer compressed ham. ::Grins::

<Hans_Lynx> You she-devil! ::nudges her::
<Tasha_Lynx> ::Laughing:: That I am. ::will snatch the list from him:: Okay we need bread, milk, eggs, and some ham at least. Those are the biggies.
<Hans_Lynx> <display>::goes crashing down, easter egg kits spilling everywhere. eggs that are there are all hard boiled XD to display the dye and such, or are plastic filled with candy::
<Hans_Lynx> Mmm… would you make omlettes for me tonight since we rarely have a good breakfast at home together? :;making way towards the area Tran’s at::
<Tasha_Lynx> Sure. ::smiles:: Sounds good. I’ll fix us some. ::going to the eggs!::
<Tran> ::smashes a few as he goes through and as he licks and weeps curls up in a ball as he’s body starts to morph, the skin tearing at the claw and teeth grow through the gums!:: ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARW!
<Hans_Lynx> ::ears perk forward hearing the screams:: What the? ::pushes cart rushing towards the source!:: <kats>::scream and flee at Tran, running past Tasha ‘n Hans::

<Tasha_Lynx> ::mun diiies at lady! XD will run after:: Crud. Can’t even go to the grocery store without something happening! ::running over and eyes widen:: oh crud…isn’t that….that dude thats been at the MBI?
<Tran> Panting and hissing stands up at 9 foot tall and hulking with muscels, snarls and looking around and roars at kats before jumping a good 10 feet and grabbing a fridge and tears it from the ground::
<Hans_Lynx> ::skids to a stop seeing Tran:: Kats alive… it is, it’s Tran but… what’s happening to- oh no. ::slaps forehead::
<Hans_Lynx> <heavyset she-kat> Hey! My Lean Cuisine!!
<Tasha_Lynx> Oh no what? I don’t like oh no’s. ::staring at him, trying to figure out how to tackle this one.:
<Hans_Lynx> I think this is what happens when he doesn’t get his proper food source… he must’ve run out at the Bureau!
<Tran> ::throws the fridge to the door where the kats are running towards and looks round starts to run at a group of running and screaming kats, fangs bared::
<Tasha_Lynx> ::cringes:: Whats his food source then?! Maybe if we can get that to him we can stop him!
<Hans_Lynx> Uncooked eggs and pomegranate juice! See if you get find those while I try and distract him from the fleeing customers.
<Hans_Lynx> ((if you can^ find))
<Tasha_Lynx> ::nods:: Gotcha! ::will take off to find them! trying to remember where everything is in this store! will find the eggs and grab up several of the larger cartons, before going in search of pomegranete juice. has NO clue where thats at. lol!
<Tran> ::trys to grab a tom and sniffs him before opening his mouth to bite!::
<Hans_Lynx> <tom>::screaming for all he’s worth! wishes he had health insurance!:: <Hans> ::grabs a nearly full cart and rushes towards Tran, hoping to knock him over with it, resulting in the release of the tom::
<Tasha_Lynx> ::will finally find some pomegrante juice. will load up some in an empty cart left behind by a fleeing customer then rushes back towards where Tran and Hans are!::
<Tran> :: http://www.fmstudiosamvs.co.uk/Yang/Dark%20Tran.png Roars and falls sideways as the cart crashes in to him… snarling over at Hans and looks at the Tom still in his grip… throws him in to the sheleves which could start s domino topple of the aisles… Tasha… get outta ther fast before your aisle gets knocked over!::
<Tasha_Lynx> ::lol! eeeek! runs out of those aisles before they crash down! will run for Tran:: hey! Here’s what you want! stop destroying our favorite store!
<Tran> ::starts to stand up and loom towards Hans… he hurt Tran… Tran Smash!!! with his limb like arms goes to knock Trasha aside and run at Hans claws slashing the ground::
<Hans_Lynx> That’s right, Tran, look at me… leave everyone else alone- Tasha! ::doesn’t have time to see if she’s alright as he’s backing up now from Tran lol grabbing and throwing canned goods behind him::
<Tasha_Lynx> ::I am not Trashy! XD though is knocked aside! yelping as she knocks up against a shelf! rubs head and slowly getting up::
<Tran> ::roars and the cans just make him madder… canned fried eggs?! You’ve gotta be kidding me! Pounces and trys to pin Hans::
<Hans_Lynx> ((::dies:: <Tasha> Is Dave writing for you Tran? <Dave>::eek! hides behind mun::))
<Tran> ::i’m no in my right mind at the moment ^^ So any bad spelling is to be expected::
<Tran> ((::DIES::))
<Tasha_Lynx> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Hans_Lynx> AWK! ::pounced and pinned by the massive hulk.:: Tran! C’mon snap out of it, it’s me, Hans!
<Tasha_Lynx> ::will get up and try to get to the cart she was pushing. will grab a few eggs out and start throwing them at his head! hoping to bust a couple on there and him get the taste:: hey ugly! Over here!
<Hans_Lynx> ::lol only reason you won’t get beat by me for knockin’ my wife over is cuz you can’t help this, bud::
<Hans_Lynx> ::make that beat later^ lol as it’s hard to beat up gnar!Tran XD::
<Tran> ::licks and tastes Han’s head as he then rears up and- Splat! blinks and looks around stares straight at tashalicks the egg off his face and winces… howling…. grabs his guts, eyes shut and teeth clenched… hisses at Tasha… it worked but not enough… gets off Hans and starts over to her…::
<Tran> ::his heavy tail comes down hard behind him… move Hans::
<Tasha_Lynx> ::backing up:: Thats it…over here. ::will try to toss some more eggs! hoping to land them near or inside his mouth!:: I got more food over here!
<Hans_Lynx> ::blech! oh man must ask if Tran can eat mints later lol as his face is Trandrooly -g- sits up now, will get up slowly while Tasha tosses them eggs!::
<Hans_Lynx> ::er gets up quickly that is lol!::
<Tran> ::Roars and coughs a bit as an egg goes straight down his throat… evencually falls to one knee and as he was running at tasha, he starts to crash/roll towards her out of control::
<Tasha_Lynx> Ack! ::will try to jump out of the way! letting him roll by! getting ready with more eggs and all to try and get him back to where he should be.::
<Hans_Lynx> :rushes around and over to where Tasha is:: Where’s that juice?
<Tran> ::breathing heavy and groans an animalistic moan as he slowly trys to stand, staggers about, gripping his head::
<Tasha_Lynx> In the basket! ::running over to Tran, while he’s down trying to crack another egg and dump it in his mouth!::
<Tran> ::hisses and starts to get shakey on his feet.. with a snarl, goes to swish round with his tail and grab Tasha with it… something he got from “the father”:: ….. ::will start to squeeze if he catches her::
<Tasha_Lynx> ::is caught and squeezed! yelping and trying to get free!:: Tran! Stop it! we’re trying to help you! We can take you to more food!
<Hans_Lynx> ::grabs the carton and opens it up:: Tran no! ::mrrrs runs towards him, tries to shove the open carton at Tran’s roaring open mouth::
<Hans_Lynx> ::without getting bitten XD::
<Tran> ::the carton goes in and Tran bites down just after Hans Hand is out the way, causing the juice box to explode and all the contents to pour down his throat… the eyes widen and flash before dimming and the hulking tran sways… tail releases tasha as his body lurches forward… you might wanna stand back Hans::
<Tasha_Lynx> ::Drops to the ground with an oof! wincing as she scrambles to get away from Tran before he falls!::
<Hans_Lynx> ::erk! notes this and moves to the side to avoid the falling mass of Tran!::
<Tran> ::crashing on the ground and lays there… starts shaking as he’s body starts to shrink::
<Tasha_Lynx> ::Frowning as she watches;: Lets get some more down him just to make sure…::crawling over to grab some more eggs and will try to feed him some more::
<Hans_Lynx> ::nods and opens another carton of juice. kneels down to where he is, waiting to see how far he shrinks down before giving him more::
<Tran> ::coughs and spits out the carton that was on his mouth, shrinks slowly down to his normal tall lanky self ^^::
<Tasha_Lynx> ::Sighs:: Great…::sitting by Tran:: We should get him back to the bureau….
<Tran> ::mrrs and mews gently at he settles and is out cold::
<Hans_Lynx> Right. Here… help me lift him into a cart… ::takes Tran by his shoulders tolift and set in empty cart nearby::
<Tran> ::as normal Tran you won’t need help lifting me::
<Tasha_Lynx> ::nods and will pick up his feet and legs to help set him in!:: Lets get some eggs and juice too to take with us. We can pay the store back in a bit. ::going to gather those up and take with them!::
<Hans_Lynx> Right. ::hurries to help Tasha. soon exits the store as the kats have moved that fridge by now::
<Tasha_Lynx> ::will go out with Hans! going back to her car! will help him put Tran in the back seat along with the eggs and juice, then gets in to drivey him back!:: We gotta make sure this doesn’t happen again..
<Tran> ::wimpers::
<Hans_Lynx> Right. I thought he was being taken care of regularly, that someone was always assigned to pick up his grocieries but I guess not.
<Tasha_Lynx> Well we better make sure someone does from now on. ::Drivey drivey!:: We can’t have him going on a rampage again. ::pulling up at the bureau in due time! will get out and gather up the eggs and juice to carry in. will let Hans take Tran in::
<Tran> ::shys away from Hans touch as his nightmares plague him::
<Hans_Lynx> ::picks the tall thin guy up and hefts him over his shoulder. carries him inside:: It’ll be alright, Tran. ::says quietly to him as he goes inside and to the breakroom. will lay him on the sofa in there::
<Tasha_Lynx> ::puts the eggs and juice in the fridge. then gets a cloth and wets it, going over to wipe at Tran’s forehead:: Poor guy.
<Hans_Lynx> I know. Shame he’s stuck like this… That Viper’s a real sicko.
<Tasha_Lynx> He is. you remember well what he did to me and Professor Clawson. That was bad enough. This is just…not even right.
<Tran> ::mrrs and opens open yello eye and a red tear rolls out:: … I didn’t make it in time… did I? ::sniffs:: Did I hurt anyone? ::all said in a whisper::
<Tasha_Lynx> ::smiles;: no, you didn’t. Its okay. We got to you in time. Its okay. You still hungry? ::wipes that tear away with that wet cloth. Isn’t going to tell him what he did. lol!::
<Hans_Lynx> You kinda gave several grocery shoppers an interesting day, but things are fine.
<Tran> ::slowly nods:: … a lot of my energy is gone Mistress.
<Hans_Lynx> He eats ‘em by sucking through the shells. ::meaning the eggs::
<Tasha_Lynx> ::nods;: Alright. ::goes to get some eggs and brings them to him along with juice!:: here you go. Eat up.
<Tran> ::tongue fires out at the egg he pulls to his mouth and sucks out the contents:: Thank you… master…. ::pants:: and mistress
<Hans_Lynx> ::won’t correct him on the “master” and “mistress” bit today as he figures the poor guy’s worn out:: No problem.
<Tasha_Lynx> You’re welcome. ::will set the carton of eggs beside him and setting the juice by him too:: Eat all you need.
<Tran> ::the master mistress thing is part of me::…. I will say sorry to those I have distrubed… yes?
<Tasha_Lynx> We’ll pass on the word for you. Best thing now is for you to rest. ::smiles::
<Hans_Lynx> Right, and best lay low for awhile too.
<Tran> … laying low? ::blinks and nods.. rolls off the sofa and on to the follow::
<Tran> How does this help?
<Tasha_Lynx> ::snorks:: no thats not what he means. He means you should stay out of sight of the general public for a while. So they sorta forget this happened.
<Hans_Lynx> ::laughs a bit:: What she said.
<Tran> … ::pouts… still on the floor:: But… is that not what the bed guys do?
<Tasha_Lynx> Sorta, but good guys can do it too. To draw attention off of them.
<Hans_Lynx> Kats aren’t familiar with you enough yet to know you’re a good guy. So you need to stay out of sight until they do.
<Tran> ::sniff and nods:; I understand
<Tasha_Lynx> Good. now eat up and rest. Get your strength back. And lets not let this happen again. ::grins::
—
<Bandit> ::at a biker bar, shaking hands with the barkeep as he picks up his cut from this weeks earners… buys everyone a round, takes a beer to a corner booth to conduct his business…::
<Yang> ::has a pocket of quarters and now everyon has got off the fun game machines ^^ Yay… PacMan… hunches over and plays::
<Renegade> ::enters the bar after managing to locate Bandit in one of his regular places of buisness. wearing usual get up under black trenchcoat. looks ’round and sees where he and Yang are. heads over to Bandit’s booth:: I need a moment of your time.
<Bandit> ::looks up from his note book and raises a brow, in his normal biker jacket… very much looking like Ghost rider X3:: … ::nods to the sit in fron of him:: Sit
<Renegade>::slides in the booth across from him:: I need a favor of you, or rather Yang since it is he who will be doing what I ask.
<Bandit>… ::glances over to Yang:: Well we shall see… Yang may not wish to do as you’d ask… and at the moment he is trying the Pacman game as you can see… I would not be a good friend if we decussed him while he’s not present
<Renegade> Then let me ask you something of him while he finishes. As a demon, even not a full one, how much heat can he withstand?
<Bandit>… ::raises a brow:: How hot is Hell?
<Renegade> ::laughs:: I would imagine at least as hot as the sun. ::looks over at Yang::
<Bandit> Can I get you a drink?
<Renegade> ::looks to Bandit again:: Might as well since we are waiting on him, thank you.
<Bandit> ::nods to the barman:: What are you after?
<Renegade> I’ll have a Bulldog Highball.
<Bandit> A Bulldog Highball, Jeff… ::looks at her:: What is it you need Yang for?
<Renegade> There’s something I need to take which may prove difficult for your average kat.
<Bandit>… ::raises a brow:: If I wanted unclear clues, I’d see a gameshow host ::sips his beer:: I want my friend to be looked after, so what is it you are going to have him do?
<Renegade> ::her drink is served, sips of it:: I need Yang to steal some nuclear fuel rods for me.
<Bandit>… Will you decontaimate him if he is willing to do that?
<Renegade> Would he need it? I’m unfamiliar with how that would affect him.<Bandit> … I don’t want him coming back and hurting his friends with radiation
<Renegade> Then I will see to it I have the means to decontaminate him.
<Bandit> Very well… Might I also ask why you want them?
Auto Response from ProtocolMBI <Renegade> ::dark smile:: I’d rather not divulge such information… at least not yet.
<Bandit> ::rolls his eyes:: Should I move my men underground at least
<Renegade> ::glances ’round:: If you really wish to know, I’d rather speak of it in a less… public area.
<Bandit>… you are currently surrounded by a few of the men of whom I speak… ::looks up stares in her eyes:: YOu know it won’t go beyond these walls
<Renegade>::meeting that stare. sips her drink and sets it down:: Very well then. It seems that I’ve inherited more than my father’s empire, I’ve inherited my father’s enemies. In the past year I’ve dealt with nearly all the major supervillains who’ve come through this city, as well as more local types from mafia bosses to former supposed allies who were truly enemies in waiting. I’m tired of them, as well as the Enforcers and MBI… not to mention the SWAT Kats who were in part responsible for my father’s death and the Director of the NSA. ::leans back in her seat some, rests arm on back of the booth’s seat. takes another drink:: The best course of action is to continue where my father left… be rid of all my enemies at once… by destroying Megakat City. ::eyes glow softly at the last part::
<Bandit>… ::sighs and sips his drink:: Where would the profit be for me, if I allow Yang to help?
<Renegade> You are on my short list of kats who I’d give a prewarning to for evacuation. I’m prepared to offer you a large sum of money or anything else you’d want for Yang’s services and the loss of whatever you’ve already set up here in Megakat.
<Bandit>… ::sets his drink down:: My operation won’t be easy to uproot… Come back to me with detailed plans of where this bomb will go off and the blast scale. I will need to make sure every member of my gang is out by the time you set it off, meaning I need the timeline for this operation… this is all before I let you ask Yang.
<Renegade> No problem. This is a plan set for months away afterall, no need to be in a rush. Taking my enemies down one at a time would take longer, and as you know more than anyone, time isn’t something to waste.
<Bandit>… ::gives her a look:: You wish to rule over all, yes?
<Renegade> Own all is a better term… ::chuckles:: but yes, I do.
<Bandit> :;leans forward:: Then what is the point of owning nothing but toxic sand you can’t even touch? It is one thing to want them all dead, but a nuclear weapon taints all it touches…::leans back and sips:: Why not just release a virus? Airborn as all your enermies need air… This why you can move in quickly once the virus has died from having no host to fest on
<Renegade> I’ll have the rest of the world to remain clean. This city deserves to be obliterated and made to not be fit for anyone for long after it’s gone. ::mrrrs, downs the rest of her drink::
<Bandit>… ::looks down at his notes:: I will give you a decission once I have seen the plans
<Renegade>::slides out of the booth:: Of course. Know that if you choose to not take part in this, I won’t have any hard feelings. You’re one of the few allies I have that I’ve made on my own.
<Bandit>… You are going ahead with this plan if I help you or not… If I say no, I get no money if it works or if it fails. If I say yes, I get a large sum of money if it works or not. I just want to know it won’t cause damage before it is designed to
<Renegade> It won’t. Though… perhaps I’ll look into this virus thing of yours before I set into anything too concrete. Maybe give my old man his Dark Kat City after all. ::smiles::
<Bandit> ::nods:: Hand out the vaceens to all you wish spared
<Renegade> You’d get a large crate full, Bandit, for I know how you hold concern for your men.
<Bandit> ::nods:: Thank you… You do know the goverment won’t just let you have the city… you’ll need a public face… a business man maybe, to legally gain the power without starting a war with the goverment. Someone who could afford to donation money to fix things… Someone you could trust to listen to what he is told
<Renegade>::grins at him now:: Are you volunteering? ::sits back down now, leaning forward some::
<Bandit>… no… but I have Scott Hall who fronts my legal business… I could rent him to you
<Renegade> You think he would be capable of such a feat?
<Bandit> A man with the brain, manners and looks of a chimp and very easy to control in high office? ::you can see a smile in his eyes:: Is it possible anyone like that could do it?
<Renegade>::laughs now and smirks:: Point taken, Bandit.
<Bandit> ::swishes his tail looks over at Yang:: So you want to go away and think before you ask for Yang’s help?
<Renegade> I think I will. You’ve given me much to consider.
<Bandit> I will add, it’s easier to defuse a bomb than stop a virus
<Renegade> ::stands anew:: If I go the viral route, I hope that it is.
<Bandit> ::maybe I should open a Villain consultants business �¬�¬:: You’ll find where ever I am when you hace reached a choice
<Renegade> ::nods:: Thank you for the drink… and the advice. ::turns to go::
<Yang> YAY!!!! ::stands up and jumps up and down on the spot:: Bandit!!! I just knocked you off the top spot!!! ::dancing::
<Bandit> ::shakes his head:: See you later Renegade… I have important business to deal with ::takes off his jacket:: We’ll see about this Yang… Jeff Another beer when you are free
<Renegade>::chuckles at Yang’s outburst, and soon exits the bar with a wicked grin on her face, imagining the possibilities of making others suffer more before they die off at last::
<Bandit> ::knows the plan will fail no matter what… just willing to take the money from someone willing to hand it over::
<Renegade>:;alas yes, heroes will probably save the day… but she will try anyway! BWHAHAHAHAHAHA! yes. -g-::
<Bandit> ::and with Yang nearby, Bandit know who will soon die… he’d tell bean if it was gonna happen::
