Ziggy rested his chin on his hand as he leaned on the table, glaring down at his reluctant host: a crime boss known simply as the Kraken, and someone who had run into Ziggy's cybernetic foe, Rain. Anyone associated with Rain was a dirtbag, and the minute Ziggy got the info he needed, he was going to be treating the crime boss to some pain. But not yet. First he needed information. Then the violence would commence.
"I'm not sure if it's wise to have you here, Mr. Rand," the Kraken said, his voice booming throughout the room. "Rain is a very powerful person, and quick to anger."
"I know," Ziggy replied, eyes narrowed. "I don't care. I want information about where he went. And I guarantee you, I will find out what I need to know, whether you agree to tell me or not. So spill it. I'll be willing to pay"
The Kraken raised an eyebrow and clasped his hands together. "Very well," he sighed. "Hopefully, Rain won't be able to discover that I was the one who revealed his location. The cyborg is currently here, in D.C., and has been traveling with a middle-aged Jamaican woman."
"Smart choice," Ziggy replied. "But the smarter choice would have been to not get involved with Rain at all. Ah, well. That's the way it goes." With that, a shadowy tendril emerged from nowhere and wrapped around the Kraken's throat, pulling him into the darkness, where he would be exposed to some very brutal tortures. As the Kraken's guards rushed towards Ziggy, inky black knives flew from his hands, slicing their throats open and sending them collapsing to the ground. As blood began to pool around Ziggy's feet, he walked out of the building, another knife forming in his hand.

Darel walked in as he saw the blood, "Great. A mess to clean up." Darel said as he looked up at Ziggy from the blood. Looking at him he just shook his head, "Mr. Rain has put me on his pay roll. Which for me is quite nice. But you, it isn't good." With a simple glare he just pulled out a gun.
"Please don't feel like fighting to tonight. Please just forget everything that fool just told you. Or I will make you."

Ziggy whirled around, knife in his hand, and glared at the person who had just walked in. He looked vaguely familiar, but there was no point in trying to remember where Ziggy had seen him before. The minute the words "Mr. Rain" left Darel's mouth, Ziggy had flung the inky black knife directly at his opponent's forehead, before charging him, a shadowy submachine gun forming in his arms.
Leveling the weapon, he began to attempt to pepper Darel with bullets, before letting the gun dissipate and forming a scimitar from the darkness. Lunging forward, he performed several quick slashes to Darel's chest, before preparing to drive the blade through his enemy's heart.

Darel watched as the bullets came at him, he quickly and with great precision shot each of them. The other seemed very angry and it was quite easy to pinpoint where that anger came from. Seeing the others ability Darel simply copied it and formed a bubble around him. It was quite more solid than it appeared. Darel remembered this man from before.
If there is something Darel doesn't do it is forget. "You get too sloppy." he said as he heard the slashes against his shadow bubble. Darel let the bubble fall as he looked at the other. Holding his gun out he fired off one round at Ziggy's knee. "Anger in battle is useless." he replied in a dry tone. He felt no other different signatures around so he figured the guy was alone.
Darel raised his hand as a shadow rose, "Ability: Umbrakinesis, manipulation of shadows. So far target has displayed proficent skill in said ability." he said to his self.

Ziggy widened his eyes with surprise as the shadow scimitar bounced off of the solid black bubble that had formed around his enemy. The guy apparently could copy the powers of his foes, not that Ziggy particularly cared about what Darel could do. He just wanted his enemy punished for the crime of aiding Rain. Ziggy gritted his teeth at Darel's comments, and gave his opponent a menacing grin, before rushing towards his enemy again, this time prepared to get through that bubble.
Before he reached Darel, Ziggy vanished, using his invisibility to leap behind Darel and prepare to attack from the rear. "Hope this works," Ziggy whispered to himself, before attempting to break through the bubble, hurling himself at Darel and using his umbrakinesis as a method of getting through Darel's defenses.

Darel had let the bubble down as he watched Ziggy move around him. Yes, he could still see the other. Considering he just hide his physical form and not his own aura. Out the corner of Darel's eye Darel saw his attack. Does this guy have no tact? Probably not he is still blinded by rage. Shame. Guess the won't be one to recruit.
As the attack finally landed, Darel had leaned his self against a wall. Whatever the attack may have been it struck the wall and that is it. As he simply let it phase through his body.

Ziggy yelled with pain as his hand passed through his enemy's body and slammed into the wall, recoiling and flinging more shadowy blades at Darel. He was going to kill this bastard, one way or another. Nobody worked with Rain willingly and got away with it. Nobody. A spiraling, inky black portal opened up in the middle of the floor, and the objects, bodies, and blood in the room began to be sucked towards it, before falling into the abyss.
Hopefully, this technique would end up taking Darel down. Ziggy now recognized the guy; he had fought alongside him before, in that alley, when they met the eleven year old vigilante and the lizard beast. Interesting case of coincidence.

Darel raised a brow as the guy created a blackhole. Darel did just one simple thing and phased through down into the floor to escape the trap. No way he would get caught up in that. He landed on the first floor unharmed. But he knew the other would be on their way. Darel quickly phased out the door not really wanting to waste time pushing it open. Along with that he used the same method to get in a car. "Drive." he told the man as they began to drive off.
Getting his suitcase from under the seat he looked at the driver. "I need something to counter umbrakinesis." he told the other. The man looked confused, "Shadow control." he said dully before being handed a flare gun. Darel quickly removed his gloved hand and touched it seeing its past quick and fast. Putting his head out the window he waited to see any signs of the man as he had the flare gun in hand.

At first, Ziggy seemed to do nothing about the fact that Darel appeared to be escaping. The black hole that had formed in the middle of the floor faded away, the majority of the bodies, blood, and debris absorbed into the abyss. Ziggy raised his hand, and black spikes burst from the ground that Darel was traveling on, impaling Darel's driver and shredding the car beyond repair. Ziggy took a deep breath, trying to calm himself in order to fight more efficiently, and leaped out of the window, plummeting towards the ground.
Racing down the road on a floating, shadow-formed disk, Ziggy jumped off of his transportation and pounced towards Darel, who was stepping out of the badly damaged car. Another scimitar formed in his hand, and Ziggy slashed upward, attempting to bury the blade in Darel's throat.

Seeing the man getting impaled he just sighed as he got out of the car. Looking at the other coming at him he fired off the flare gun close range as light filled the area between them. Falling backwards Darel's throat was cut as he fell to the ground. He begins to cough up blood as his hand falls to grip at his throat to stop blood from continue to be lost.
His eyes look up at Ziggy with anger and hatred that he dared harmed him. Coughing up another fresh batch of blood this time it didn't fall to the ground, instead it formed into needles and shot up at Ziggy. His throat wound began to clot quickly. Darel didn't know how he had that ability, but it was his trump card. Coughing onto his hand the rest of the blood he looked up at Ziggy.
Throwing his hand upward in the air his blood slashed its way off of Darel's hands into Ziggy's direction.

Ziggy stumbled backwards as Darel fired off the flare gun, cursing under his breath, as the shadowy scimitar he had formed faded into nothingness. After rubbing his eyes, he saw that the blade had sliced Darel's throat, causing a grin to form on Ziggy's face. It quickly vanished as the blood formed into needles that sped through the air, several of which hit Ziggy in the arm and causing a yelp to escape his lips. "Two can play at that game," he snapped, sending black needles shooting through the air in Darel's direction.
Black gloves formed over Ziggy's hands, elongating into claws. Lunging towards Darel, he took some more blood needles in the shoulder, but continued to move forwards, grabbing Darel by the arm and tossing him away from the devastated car, before preparing to close in for the kill...

Getting tossed into a car wasn't painful, just irritating that he allowed his self to be put off guard. But at least his plan worked he found an effective weakness to Ziggy's umbrakinesis, as his fingers changed into the barrel of a flare gun. All four fired off bright blinding light at Ziggy. "You really should calm down. We could have talked about this if you didn't attack me." he explained before rolling off the car.

"That wasn't the impression I got," Ziggy snarled at his foe, recoiling from the blinding light and flailing a bit. Grimacing, he rubbed his eyes once more, watching as his clawed gloves dissipated into nothing. Reforming them, he pounced upon Darel, blindly attempting to scratch out his enemy's eyes.
Of course, Ziggy hadn't bothered to think about the limits of his umbrakinesis when he was in direct sunlight. Slowly but surely, he was tiring. And he couldn't afford to lose this fight; not when he was so close to finding Rain.

"Of course not because people looking for revenge are all idiots." Darel said as he changed his arm into a blade and holding Ziggy off. "Apathy is the only way to go." he said as his eyes lost all shine. His facial expression was blank. As Ziggy was so close to Darel he simply changed his foot into blade as he kicked it toward Ziggy's knee.
"Emotions cloud all judgment and makes your kind weak." he said in a monotone. With a simple phasing into the ground he escaped Ziggy only to appear behind him. "This battle has nothing to offer me. I have just been notified Mr. Rain is now in a safe location. I have stalled long enough. Tell me...how do you feel about innocence?" with that Darel waved his hand and quickly children began to come. Walking to their position he held out a gun to one of the child's head.
With not even batting an eye he pulled the trigger and sent out a command for the children to attack. He would watch this persons activity and get a profile on him.

Ziggy felt a sharp pain in his knee and cried out, stumbling backwards, away from his foe. He listened to his enemy ranting about how emotions were useless, gritting his teeth. Then came the comment about how Rain was now in a safe location. "No..." Ziggy muttered, standing up shakily. He stared Darel down, eyes narrowed menacingly. Black tendrils formed on Ziggy's clawed gloves, inching towards Darel, but they dissipated when Darel held the gun to the kid's head.
"Don't!" Ziggy roared, but it was too late. The child collapsed, and the remaining kids began to swarm towards Ziggy, hell-bent on killing him. He couldn't hurt these kids. Darel was controlling them somehow; that much was obvious. Ziggy began to retreat, heading into town, away from the army of children and that bastard who was using them. He began sending blasts of black fire behind himself, aimed directly at Darel.
