Zane the Mad :Part of the Legendary Interviews
5. Honestly it seams like even mana don't really know what to do with me.

5. Honestly it seams like even mana don't really know what to do with me.

By the time Imp told me we should start to fly down I had gotten so used to the cold that I had half forgotten that it had ben freezing on the way over.

I was also glad that I could just lock in my vectors so that it wasn't a constant struggle to fly the 2 hours it took to get there. In fact once I noticed that the superman pose was very uncomfortable after the first 4 minutes I changed my pose so that it was more like I was laying back in a recliner flying practically feet first. What can I say? The human body was not meant to look up for so long.

So my feet first flying locking in my flight vector and the spinning wall of wind to cut back on the gale force winds I should be hitting all added up to a pretty comfortable time.

I was having a hard time not falling asleep as Imp continued the story and honestly it was good. I was glad to have gotten the boost to her ability.

We flew down to from what looked like along patch of green that started to look more like a swamp. Even in the time of year where it was supposed to be a little cold but getting hotter down in this part of the country it was humid and warm.

I started regret keeping on my jacket but knew I needed it when I left and it wouldn't exactly be hard to put it away.

Imp directed me to a place just out side of town to an old abandoned gas station. She assured me that it wasn't were the portal was but knew I wouldn't want to draw that much attention to myself so soon.

I did agree with that and wished I had a skateboard so that I could pretend to ride it into the town instead of just walking or running.

With that thought in mind I looked around the gas station to see if I couldn't find a piece of wood I could try and fake it with, but no luck.

Unless I wanted to rip apart the building I wasn't going to be getting off easy. So I sighed and hid behind the building expanding my portal to the beach and unlocking my phone and wallet to put into my pants pockets I tossed the coat into the portal while using a vector to keep it in the air to make sure the sand didn't get all over it.

I wondered if it would look even crazier if I just ran into the town. I mean I was a chubby guy and actually had no idea how fast I could run so seeing a fat guy running at 40 miles an hour next to the highway would scare people more than just a guy suddenly dropping out of the sky like it was no big deal.

"Invisibility is tempting." I said out loud "Can every one see my portals when I make them?"

"yes, and it would cost 10 points to make them invisible. Doesn't exactly seam worth it." Imp said.

"why not?" I asked and started walking into town I think I could have used a portal to bring my car here but it seamed like more trouble than it was worth.

"well if you need a portal then weather or not other people can see it wont matter." she said but I got the feeling that was just a thing to say not the real reason.

"if you say so" I said watching a few cars go by me on the highway and wondered if I could sneak into the back of a truck with out somebody noticing me do it.

"the gateway shouldn't be that far away." Imp said looking around as I walked. "and its not like you've got just a human body to have to lug around. You shouldn't even notice a small walk like this."

That was already true after just a few minutes of walking before the mana I would have started noticing pains in my ankles, hips and back.

A few moments of walking latter and a cop flashed its lights and pulled up next to me.

I smiled in confusion wondering if I looked homeless or something.

The cop rolled down his window and asked me "car break down?"

I smiled in relief "yeah, it was my uncles car and he didn't tell me that the gas gage gets stuck at half a tank or that the phone charger didn't work."

He gave me a half blank look like he didn't expect so much out of me or that my smile seamed off but he unlocked the door "well I can give you a ride to the truck stop just inside town they should have a place you can charge your phone and buy a gas can."

"thank you, thank you" I said awkwardly opening the door and getting in.

He nodded smiling a little as I buckled up and we headed to the truck stop.

I wasn't sure if I should say anything or just sit in silence but the cop got a call on his phone and answered it and chatted away with whoever was on the other side witch left me to just sit quietly and try not to listen in.

Imp whispered next to me "his power would be Desire Intuition."

I thought about that and about how useful a power that would be to have as a cop... or how terrible it would be to have as a cop.

I also wasn't sure how I would get him onto the beach or if I'd rather him go into fake new york.

Then again I haven't even gotten the power to take shards of other peoples powers yet. So I would just be putting this guy in a coma for 4 days as a thank you for giving me a ride.

'there needs to be a way to avoid that 4 day sleep, or a way to skip over it.' I thought to myself as we pulled up into the truck stop parking lot.

I hoped out of the car and said thanks to the officer still talking way on his phone who gave a wave of acknowledgement before driving away.

The truck stop seamed old and run down the pot hole laden gravel that was its parking lot was clearly once concrete and only half the signs seamed to work.

'gee I wonder if they have a coin dozer game.' I thought to myself and headed inside to see and also just in case that police officer was in fact watching me.

The inside looked better then the outside but didn't have any games in it it seamed like they just barely kept there candy on the sleeves but they did have gas cans and all the little things that would help somebody who got stuck get back to the rest of the world.

"it would seam that most people who stop here do so cus they didn't have any other choice." I muttered to Imp as she looked around the selves and behind the counter.

"this guy would get cannon creation. that sounds like fun" Imp said floating near the dark skinned man who looked bored at the register.

That did sound "fun" not exactly super useful considering my own powers could pretty much move anything at the speed of a bullet with a little practicing. Witch sounded even more fun.

'i need to remind myself to practice that.' I thought then headed to the bathroom so that I could talk with Imp a moment alone.

"how much further is that portal?" I asked.

"about 20 minute walk, its in the basement of a hospital near here." Imp said.

"a basement? I thought these swampy areas didn't bother with basements cus they flood so easy." I said confused.

"Yep. But this one didn't start as a basement they built the place on soft ground and it sunk so they cleared it out and ignored it." she said "and that is also why almost nobody has found it yet."

"almost nobody?" I asked.

"yep there was just the one of corse that was the person who the god gave the world to. But things aren't working out it seams" imp said looking at the hand dryer curiously.

"ok... so what was he doing there? and what do you mean it isn't working out?" I asked wondering what that could even mean.

"how should I know." she said "I just get something like an email telling me what I need to know like where the world gate is and weather or not the person is in there."

"ok.. so there is someone in there?" I asked.

"yeah sounds like it. But the god isn't liking them." she said

"Ok so is that why I got a quest to go there?"

"maybe. the quest just said to go there it didn't say to take this guy out." she said with a shrug.

"Ok..." I said "also... never mind"

I was thinking about telling her to keep an eye out for someone walking on the streets with a mind reading or future vison power but realized she would prob tell me about them anyway and that there was so many useful powers that giving her a list would be pointless.

Not only that but what was I ganna do just kidnap them?

Yes the answer was maybe, depends on what power they had. If they had the power to give themselves any power then yeah I mite snag them spend the points to get that power for myself and then use that power to give myself future visions on what exactly that other person would do with the power.

I headed out of the bathroom and thought about buying something just as a token gesture but couldn't see anything worth spending any money on.

Especially now that I didn't need to eat or drink it was actually quite an enjoyable feeling for me to look over all the foods I couldn't eat and then the foods I could and go. "never ganna need that again."

I headed out walking in the direction that imp pointed out as she continued the story on her own.

I hoped that this fake New York also had plenty of stores in it, like a Sams shop or big malls... yeah they had to have big malls if it was supposed to be a fake new york.

I looked around a little and saw the streets were pretty much dead and that there was just a few houses on the way to the hospital. So I did a few short bounds in the right direction enjoying the half flying along with the boost in speed and started wondering about maybe just using my vectors for super speed. If I moved so fast people couldn't see me then I wouldn't have to worry about looking weird.

Hell with the fact that a key point of vectors was the speed I mite already be half way there. I would just need to increase my perception and thought speeds then I should be able to at the very least fly or throw myself fast as hell and use the aura to keep me safe while I did so.

'fuck im half of superman already' I thought to myself and smiled a little as Imp was getting to a part in the story were the main character a son of thor was fighting a small group of Trolls.

We got to the hospital and I waited for her to get done with that part of the story before having her scout out the best way for me to get in as close to unnoticed as possible.

As it turned out it was very easy to get in and it seamed like people where actively avoiding the idea that there was an under to the place.

You could barely tell that anything had happened to the building and that was because it seamed to have a shell of another building built around it with an aily way into it so that they could run water pumps and spray for mold it seamed as there was large tubs of mold killer with back pack sprayers next to it.

I thought it was odd when Imp told me that there was no cameras in the area except at the entrance but seeing how cramped and creepy the place was and clearly dangerous anyone who came down here deserved what they got.

Looking around it was just a quick jump up and over where the cameras were pointing and then down the hall into the slightly damp first floor of the hospital.

Moisture beaded on the walls and there was a light green slime pooled in the corners of the floor and the walls. The tiles have all ben removed clearly because they grew to much life in them and collapsed before they cleaned out the place.

I wondered why they didn't just fill the place with cement and be done with it. But then again it mite just make the whole place sink even faster.

We walked through the slick and empty hospital halls past empty rooms and places were medical equipment had ben ripped from the walls.

"We should film a horror movie in here" Imp said floating next to a hallway that had started growing more mold then the others in it.

"yeah revenge of the forgotten yeast infection test." I muttered shaking my head. "lets just grab the world gate and go so I can start to loot the place for crafting."

"Fine, fine" she said and flew more pointedly down the hall and into the old Operating room.

I smelled a new smell over the green ooze and mold. It was a smell of old spray paint, trash water, of hot and greasy metal. There was something else there to something it was hard to put my finger on. The door way glowed with fluorescent lights my eyes adjusting to the new light reminded me that I had gotten the dark vision power.

Inside the old OR was bare walls some scratches in the floor where I guessed they had removed some heavy equipment and a portal to a subway platform. I could see the spray painted graffiti on the walls in between posters for old movies and adds for things you'd see in product placements.

I stepped in with a smile feeling a change in the air from the warm wet basement to a nearly cold dry feeling in the air of this place.

"most movies show New york during the winter or even in the summer people have jackets on so they thought New York must be cold all the time." Imp said "also quest complete now giving you vector crafting."

I felt a calming underwater sensation for a moment and felt it spread through my power. "sweet. Now we can get to trying to craft some stuff for Lu when he wakes up."

"good idea." Imp said looking weirdly at the subway tunnel before she smiled. "and theres no boost to your training here like on the beach."

"Oh? nothing? not even another x10" I asked frowning.

"Nope. But there is magic items scattered around, and the things to fight in this place reappear a lot faster than on the beach." she said still staring into the tunnel.

"well...that is good news." I said with a grin.

"oh yes and you've gotten a quest to find at least 5 places with a movie references in it." Imp said with sharp smile still looking into the tunnel. "the reward is personal storage space and what ever items you wish to keep from them."

"Cool... what do you keep staring at?" I finally ask annoyed I cant see anything but a tunnel that makes a tern into the tunnels.

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

"Your other quest." Imp said I smelled gas just before an orange light appeared in the middle of the of the tunnel quickly growing bigger, along with a sound that if you know it you know it and if you don't you think whoosh is the same thing.

I started to feel the heat right as I raised my hand moving the jet of fire away from me to my right while also jumping to my left. If it wasn't for my aura im sure my clothes and hair would have caught fire just from the heat of it.

It felt like the air was being pulled out of my lungs and my throat burned. If I needed to breath I would have ben gasping and panting on the floor.

Once I got my footing on the subway tracks I tried to keep pushing the fire so that it made an arc back at the attacker. The flames washed over an invisible shape nearly as large as the tunnel and hard to make out only with the flames.

Bright golden eyes glared at me above a long mouth of sharp fangs. When I added in the fire breath the smell finally was familiar to me. It was the smell of dry scales.

"Quest received. Don't kill the dragon." Imp said next to me. "reward the power to give powers. Failure penalty the power gifting will be forever locked for you."

I looked confused in between imp and the dragon who had given up on the camouflage lifting its wings and hitting the top of the tunnel before growling and trying to swipe a claw at me.

I waved my hand an focused on arrows pulling the claw away from me and saw the claw not even slow down a little bit. I braced using my aura this time as a shield witch the claw still completely ignored I noticed only a second before the claws hit me time slowing a little as I started to panic and changed my body from trying to take the hit to avoiding it pushing my own body away from the claw.

It didn't quite work and the palm of the dragons claw hit me like a pillow filled with soup cans. The edges of the claws lightly cutting me as I was flung into the subway platform the concrete exploding into a powder under me as I used my aura to push away the stone so that didn't hurt at least.

I took the momentum while jumping back rolling and flinging myself across the subway platform. I landed on my feet and had just a second to think before I jumped off the wall trying to get through the world gate.

The dragon's head appeared in my vision mouth open ready to snap down while blocking the portal. I had just enough time to change my angle instead hitting the other wall across from the exit as the dragon bit down on nothing.

It hissed turning on me its tail smacking against the wall and ceiling while his wings scraped away some of the metal of the roof.

I glanced at the stairs seeing how they where only half as big as the tunnel they seamed like the best choice and I flew at them this time grabbing a bench from the wall to throw at the dragon's face to distract it.

It hit true and the beast was pushed back for a moment the splinters of old wood and metal bouncing off its eyes as I rushed past nearly crashing into the celling above the stairs as I shot out and upward into the city proper.

I could hear the angry roar of the dragon and the shifting of stone and crunching of metal as it tried to claw its way out of the subway.

I stopped looking down on the street from at least 10 stories up watching the important flame rise up below.

"what fucking movie has a dragon in the subway?" I asked imp.

She laughed at that and it seamed to last long enough it was tempting to shake her before she said. "none that I know of. That was the first person to find this world. His power is to be a dragon and he hasn't figured out how to tern back."

"Oh..." I thought about that. "So is that why I cant kill him?"

"nope" Imp said. "you cant kill him because Eva needs to to it."

"What?" I asked frowning at her.

"your next quests are "help Lu capture the dragon and keep it held until Eva wakes up reword modify powers given to others including making them slightly stronger" and "help Eva kill the dragon rewords the power to take small shards of powers from others." Imp said watching me her sharp teeth shining in her grin.

"Why?" I asked glaring at her mind clicking away at battle plans to try and fill the quests.

"Mana has a plan." she said thoughtfully. "what that is exactly we may not know ever but maybe itl show its self when the time comes."

"rrrriiight" I said shaking my head and sighing. Then heard gun shots and police sirens. "the hell? are there people here?"

"nope just really good puppets." imp said looking down at the city. "you'd almost call them animatronics but made of meat."

"ok." I said thinking about that for a moment before looking around seeing the tall buildings around me and chose to fly even higher to try and get my bearings.

"I don't know anything really about new york but I recognize the skyline from movies and I know the first place im going to try and find." I said

"wheres that?" Imp asked

"empire state building." I said "got to be a place with at least one easter egg."

Looking around the skyline I really did recognize some of the buildings stretched out below me. I found the slightly shorter building with the one of a kind shape and started flying for the empire state building.

I flew past the top of the lightning rod thinking that there had to be something up there, but I was wrong but at the base of the lightning rod I saw an orange jar. I used my power to bring it up to my hand landing on the platform just under the lightning rod I read the jar.

"Jame's peach preserves?" I read out loud trying to think of what movie that would be Looking at the smiling bugs on the label "great for making friends" the lady bug was saying.

"First easter egg found" Imp said looking over the jar. "it has the power to make people and monsters like you if you have them eat it, and you can feed half of it to a bug itl grow into a monster pet."

"funny" I said finally remembering the movie. "I did like that movie as a kid but I don't know i'm actually going to have much use for this."

My chest started to feel heavy and my heart started to beat heavily seaming to struggle. I felt like breathing hurt so I remembered to stop breathing but the pain still grew every little movement hurting me.

"fuck" I said using my power to make me float down to the ground on my back instead of collapsing in pain like I felt like doing.

"wooow. that took forever." Imp said looking down on me as I struggled to not breath and get my aching chest under control.

"Yeah... Fucking weird body of mine." I said trying to think of something other then the pain that my chest was becoming. "got in a car crash that recked the car I felt fine and just walked home and didn't noticed how much I hurt all over until the next day."

"Yeahhh that sounds like shock." Imp said looking down at me.

"You a doctor now?" I asked clenching my teeth.

"No but I could be if you spend some of those points your hording" Imp said folding her arms above me.

"doesn't sound worth it." I said with a grunt "unless im going to die. it doesn't feel that bad."

"HOW Would you know?" she asked loudly.

"I had magic before you got here. It was a kinda shity magic but it'd tell me if I was ganna die." I said thinking about spending the points on a healing factor and wondering if Eva was going to spend the points on the healing factor so I could just take a copy of her power when I complete the quest.

"if you say so." imp said shaking her head then got a slow thoughtful look on her face.

"so ah... just for reference how hard is it to get more points?" I asked trying to remember exactly how many I had right at that moment.

"depends. But for you... pretty easy honestly this hole point thing is just a crutch. You grow out of it." she said looking at me closely frowning.

"really? ...fuck I feel dumb" I said and remembered that if I was on the beach my idea to just wait out this pain and let my body heal so that I would heal faster next time would be a hell of a lot faster.

"don't feel bad not a lot of people have power immunity" she said quietly

"not that" I said holding up my wrist and trying to focus over the pain to bring out the portal and set it up so I could just slid in. It took much longer than I wanted and I started to get angry at the pain and how my power wasn't working as well with it.

But finally I felt the watery air of the beach and used my power to slid onto my beach. I started feeling better as soon as the moonlight hit my face and the soft sand on my back replaced the hard concrete and the cloudy gray skies of the Foe New York.

Im not sure if it was real or just me relaxing more on the beach and moonlight but the edge was taken off the pain in my chest. I closed the portal behind me.

"You know it occurs to me that your going to be with me no matter where I go or what I do from now on." I said using my power to pull my phone and wallet out of my pockets and floating them in the air.

"you make a point." she said thinking. "but you could spend 2 points to make it so that I can fly a lot further away from you."

"how far?" I asked

"for the 2 points. Half a mile" she said.

"can you fly through walls?" I asked.

"technically I only exist in your mind and in the system with in the mana... so yeah I should be able to go anywhere theres mana." she said looking nearly egger to be off.

"ok yeah do it itl be worth it latter to." I said opening the new york portal just enough to let imp through and had a thought" also if your just in my head that means you can go away but I can still get the stories."

Imp frowned thinking about it for a moment. "yeah... you have a point actually"

"good" I said "go see how far you can explore and if you can find anything else and keep up the story"

She flew away starting up the story and I moved the portal a little but didn't close it and used my power to float up and take off most of my clothes and finally floated out into the water sinking slowly down closing my eyes feeling the water and the moonlight and I noticed the water was freshwater not salty. it was like a huge pool with out even the chemical cleaners.

It was one of the only times I nearly wished I would go to sleep but floating there in the water moonlight with a book clear as if I was on land it was better then sleep.

I think if it wasn't for my chest still hurting, Eva and Lu going to wake up any time I mite have just stayed there. It felt like forever before my chest finally stopped hurting and I just stayed relaxing in there for a while longer before a part of the story talked about a new Demigod going out into battle with a power he didn't know how to use and no weapons and nearly died and would have if it wasn't for the help of another character used a power they didn't even know they had to help him.

I did some stretches under the water to make sure my chest was better then floated up and out of the water and used my aura to push the water off of me and out of the underwear I still had on. I floated to the beach putting my clothes back on and using another burst to blast the sand free of it.

I looked up at Eva and Lu sending the thought to Imp to come back I checked my phone to see that I had ben in the water for 10 hours. I still had a day and a half until Lu was supposed to wake up.

I shook my head noticing imp appear in front of me.

"that was wild" she said shaking her head.

"what? story telling while not here?" I asked floating up and taking the portal with me until I was at a height I felt would make sure any flames wouldn't make it to the island.

"no. theres a time dilation in there I'd say a full day inside for every hour out here." she spoke with a grin. "but I was still on your time. so everything was rushing about in fast forward so fast I could barely make anything out."

"That dose sound fun for a little while at least." I said "but I think it'd get old quick."

"Yeah. It would have but there was so much going on... And half a mile is bigger then you'd think." she admitted "I wish you had moved the portal when you went into the water but I got to see at least a little bit."

"didn't think of it and honestly it was mostly to get you out of here while I healed up. I get anything out of that by the way?" I questioned her as I looked into the little window to the fake New York.

"not really you can heal a little faster and take a little more hits but not even a points worth yet." she answered "but you know how I said there wasn't any people there?"

"yeah?"

"I was wrong. there's at least 2. I saw one of them flying around and the other came to try and find out if there was another jar of peaches. Looked up set there wasn't one" Imp said excitedly.

"One of them was flying?" I wondered witch movies had people flying "what color was he waring? ...Red?"

"no black. He was a skinny guy from what I could tell" Imp said thinking hard. "I think he had a sword."

"hmmm. I can think of one movie but im hoping he's not at full power." I said sighing "witch would be faster moving the portal my self by flying in there or just sitting here and moving it?"

"Going in." imp replied quickly "both with the time dilation and with how fast you can move Vs how fast you could move the portal."

I nodded seeing her logic and opened the portal enough to float through and turned it back into the size of a watch to attach to my wrist.

"Just how small can I make these portals?" I asked imp as I flew down to the subway looking around to make sure there wasn't any flames coming out of it.

"As small as you think you can." she said with a half shrug. "I tl stay open for as small as you can make it but if you cant find it again it'll be gone... You could always upgrade your own portals to let you come back here whenever you want so you wont have to worry about it."

"how much?" I asked

"50 or train for a long time." she said "You wouldn't make your portals any faster and they wouldn't last any longer but you would always be able to come back home."

"Any way, I mite get a quest for it?" I asked

"I cant say either way." imp said

"hmm... Maybe if I can get enough points killing things around here." I said "but im not sure how many points im going to need to help Lu and Eva."

Imp got a blank look on her face then frowned and blinked a few times. "So you know I don't pick your quests right?"

"yeah?" I asked noticing her strange tone.

"you just got a quest... There's a big failure penalty and a huge reward." Imp said watching me blankly.

"yeah? ...what is it?" I asked watching her.

"The power to give yourself any power with only the limits the gods themselves have." She hesitated.

"what the fuck are the limits?" I asked eyes wide.

"you cant time travel. Time dilation is ok but only to a point and not even the gods can truly bring some one back from the dead... Once some one is gone thats it the human soul, the mind, all there memories theres no way to get them back." Imp whispered.

"Thats it? those are the only limits? ...wholy fuck." I said I was about to ask about why time travel but I could think of so many reasons first it seamed nearly impossible but if it was then any 2 people fighting with time powers could fuck up absolutely anything and everything just trying to go back before each other to kill the other first.

While the bringing people back from the dead seamed right some how. People were just a bit more then meat and chemicals. But if they couldn't bring people back from the dead then that means you couldn't just make new people out of nothing.

"...then what the hell are you?" I asked imp staring at her.

She went very very still at that "I'm just your familiar." she finally whispered but seamed troubled like she was trying to remember something that she couldn't.

I waited for a moment watching her to see if she would say anything else but she just seamed frozen. "well? then what is the failure part of this quest?"

She flickered then looked back at me flashing a huge smile before seaming to remember what she was about to say and it froze on her face. "Its kinda a long list actually, But mostly its to stop you from spending points to get to powerful to fast. Like not being able to use your portals very well or using them to go to other worlds from where you are now. Or being able to take some powers directly. Or being able to take others powers at full power or at more powerful then they were already."

"shit... then what the fuck is the quest?" I asked her amazed at that.

"Kill Lu right after Eva kills the dragon." Imp muttered

It was lucky that she was on the side of the street or I would have never seen the taxi that ramped up the curb aiming right at me.

I used the aura to stop the car cold stopping any movement it had glaring at the driver who seamed shocked, He was wearing a thick fur coat and a jump suit under it. He opened the door a gun appearing in his hand getting out and trying to fire at me.

I imagined arrows grabbing the gun and twisting it out of the guy's hand.

His gun fired the bullet going wild and he found pulling the trigger again just trying to keep the gun but he finally let it go throwing a metal star at me witch flew much faster then I thought it should having tried to throw them myself.

I used the vectors in my own body to grab the star out of the air as the guy made the gun appear in his hand again shooting as fast as he could.

This time I just focused on repelling any bullets that mite hit me.

One of the guys arms burst into a long cut and he grunted in pain putting the gun to his own head pulling the trigger once to the sound of an empty click before running at me gun in one hand and a knife in the other.

I used an arrow to push the guys arm with the gun away as he fired again but this time lifted the whole cab up a little and moved it sideways slamming into him he looked up at me shocked then more gunfire came from behind me and the man seamed to tern to mist but a small blue flame flew into a drain.

Behind me I heard chittering and high pitched giggling. I turned and saw a group of Little green lizard like things holding guns and laughing, another one landed on the car next to me holding sai and wearing a red eye mask.

A guy in a green elf hat and another fur coat peeked out from around a corner holding a shotgun looking twitchy.

"we get him Mikey?" he called out

"nuh uh" the lizard monkey thing on the car called back not stopping the giggling.

"Are these Magwi?" I asked looking at the one nearest me. "you actually tamed them?"

The guy looked at me a little longer this time looking confused "who.. who are you?"

"I m Zane. I ah... guess I'm new here." I said wishing I could just say 'I'm Zane the new owner of this place now let me help you get the fuck out.' In stead I started feeling twitchy and wanting to get away from this guy.

"oh... Is Gerry finally gone?" He asked looking hopefully.

"well no." I said as there was a loud scraping and shifting beneath our feet.

"Oh fuck." the guy said looking at the ground, nearly dancing in place "we got to get out of here." he turned and ran his Gremlins following him.

I sighed feeling the ground shake a little and then saw the large breath of fire coming out from the subway entrance.

"new quest" imp muttered in my ear. "help the New New Yorkers."

"fuck" I sighed "I was just trying to get a whole fucking town to loot all to myself but of corse there's people every-fucking where."

I followed after then guy noticing the cracks in the ground that started to glow a little.
