Drugs, Dupes and Two Smoking Barrels - Sha vs Urban_Spaceman

"So this is that Brazilian White Snake stuff huh? What's it, 45 ounces?"  the man asked as he peered into the boot of the run-down old car. 
 
"80 percent pure man, for this price you won't get a better deal, you can sell it for more then triple that on the streets around here." Replied Winston with a smug smile as he surveyed his customer, brushing his arm down along the side of his car as he talked. They were in the garage of an abandoned mechanics workshop, the moon high in the sky outside, duly illuminating the the quiet suburban landscape around them. 
 
"I see, well, you say I can sell it for triple, but that still doesn't make your prices pretty extortionate." The Latino fellow frowned, pulling back from the car and backing towards the several 'associates' he had brought with him, his piercing eyes staring down at the much shorter man threateningly. 
 
"Look, it's damn good sh!t, I told you that's my price and I'm sticking to it, you don't like it and I'll take my business elsewhere, it's not like it'll be hard to find another buyer."  Winston frowned back, slowly closing the boot of his car. 
 
"Ah, but I'm most certain we can persuade you otherwise." The man said with a smirk as the four men besides him pulled out handguns which they promptly aimed at Winston. 
 
"Ah. See, that's a bad move." Winston raised his hands, a his expression growing nervous.
 
"And why's that?" The other man scoffed.
 
"Well..." Winston blinked but for a second, focusing so as every cell in his body could undergo rapid mitosis, replicating and then replicating again. When his eyes opened three Winsti stood side by side, the two newest ones wearing a black body-fitting synthetic suit with peculiar metallic knobs in various places. Before the drug dealers could react, the original Winston knelt down, a glowing force-shield growing out from his right arm and a mechanical device clanging down his sleeve to form what appeared to be a cannon at the end of his left hand. 
 
"What the fu-" One of the thugs started to mutter in confusion before opening fire, the bullets fizzling uselessly against Winstons shield. Winston slid his left hand through the back of his shield and fired back, the resulting fiery yellow blast from his hand-cannon blasting the goon back against the wall, whilst his other two duplicates flipped over the original Winston. The small gang sprayed bullets frantically, one shot taking out one of the clones kneecaps, causing him to fall to the hail of bullets. The other one was much nimbler though, rapidly closing the small space between himself and his foes, stooping down between two of the gun-wielding men with his arms extended out, the suit he wore increasing his physical attributes, allowing him to clothesline them both in their guts, winding and scooping them up before flipping them both backwards over his muscular arms so their heads met the concrete ground with a sickening crack. Meanwhile the armed Winston fired another shot, taking out the other thug, leaving only the leader of this 'deal' still standing. 
 
"That's why it was a damn bad move," The Winston behind the shield grinned as he deactivated it and stood to his feet, "Now if you'll be so kind as to hand my 'sibling' over there your briefcase full of cash we shall be on our way." 
 
"We weren't going to shoot you you know, someone must've heard the shots, the cops'll be on their way." 
 
"By which time, I'll be long gone, I'll see 'ya around." Winston grinned as his dupe threw him the money and opened the garage door, reabsorbing his fallen comrade as he passed him, so as to leave no trace. Hopping into the car, Winston reabsorbed the other dupe and drove off down the street, the sound of sirens wailing in the far off distance.

 The moon was positioned high in the air, watching over the city if it could haunt the souls of those who intended to break the Solace, then there would not be a need for Sha, but alas, it could not and the dark goddess sat on the edge of a building with her feet dangling, below just waiting for something to happen.   The loud and illustrious sounds kept Sha woke very briefly however she forgot how much more you could get in life by site.

Placing her hands behind her head she hoped to get a few hours of rest before calling it a night, since for the first time in months nothing was actually going on. No sooner than she laid her head back, she heard the loud blaring of the Police cars. “Story of my life” she said getting up and jumping across the rooftops.   As the police Scanner went off in her head notifying her of the car leading police she placed herself in position to jump down on top of the criminal’s car.

“Wait for it wait for it go!” Sha leapt off the top of the roof down to the city, the wind rushed against her purple uniform sending a pleasant breeze up her face and massaged her revealed skin. As the ground got increasingly closer she removed a grappling hook from the innards of her cowl and fired towards what was received as a light Pole. The hook rested around the pole, she was able to maneuver herself as she waited for a certain car to pass. She dropped down onto the hood, and the loud thump alerted the criminal.

As the car sped down the street, she looked at him through the windshield and flashed a bright smile. “Ello Gawgus!” she said punching through the winshieild. Glancing up ahead she saw a red light, knowing he was going to go right through it, she lunged towards the front of the car then quickly pushed backwards kicking the whole window down. The car swerved in and out of the way knocking Sha and the driver back and forth. She laid motionless for a few while the blood slowly began to come from her body.

“That was sooo not the best thing to do” looking around for her suspect, hopefully he survived so she could beat his ass for disturbing her peaceful night.

"Aw sh!t." Winston muttered as he looked behind him, several of the police cars had decided to follow him and so Winston swerved towards the central business district of Solace City, hoping to lose the police in the maze of skyscrapers and side alleys. It wasn't long after he'd passed the first reasonably sized apartment block that a woman landed with a graceful thud upon the hood of his car. 
 
"Ello Gawgus!" Sha grinned at him as she effortlessly punched through the windshield of his car. 
 
"Jesus!" Winston yelped, totally not expecting a lady in a purple costume to jump upon his car like that. With his eyes glued to the unusual phenomena that had occurred on the hood of his car, Winston failed to notice the red light up ahead, in fact, he sped up when Sha kicked the whole window down, losing control as glass shattered around him, swerving the car all over the place before it eventually met its fate, slamming into the wall of an office-block at breakneck speeds. Winston was tossed around, though his seat belt kept him in place in the car, though he did bash his head against the steering wheel and now a small amount of blood trickled down his forehead. He lay there for a little while, moaning incoherently, before he raised his head, undid his seatbelt and fell out the door of his car, where he crawled around aimlessly before he got to his feet and pulled out his mobile phone, "Yea, you're gonna need to pick me up, um, between Holden and George street? Kay. " 
 
Turning around, Winston noticed the woman who'd put him in this unfortunate circumstance still lying upon his car, muttering "That was sooo not the best thing to do." a small amount of blood also trickled down her side. 
 
"Damn straight it wasn't!" Winston growled as he stomped over towards his ruined car, a mechanical object whirring itself around his left hand whilst a duplicate was formed out of his back, just in case. Winston aimed the cannon that had formed over his hand at his new foe as she still stirred, "I kinda liked this car." The gun shone a yellowy colour as it prepared to fire a non-fatal but fairly powerful blast at the lady on his vehicle, the blast itself was more kinetic then anything and would likely just smack whatever it hit aside.

 “Ughhh” Sha said moaning trying to move her body, luckily for her, the memory encased in her helmet had not been damaged or she would have been in serious trouble. Feeling over the seats trying to avoid the broken glass, her EL gave her a location of the opening created in the roof of the car. Sliding out the car, she pushed her hands down first so she could free her legs from whatever they were lodged under. “Fu*ck”.

Rolling out from under the vehicle, she could hear the locals running, screaming, and just chatting, she had alerted public to a crises and contrary to what you think people were actually just standing around watch.

“When someone leaves in a body bag, then they’ll start running” shifting her attention back to her foe, her El picked up some sort of strange formation on his hand. “ Is this guy buzz light year?”  The El began to beep; the cannon like weapon had been pointed at her, so the EL picked up the threat. “AWWW COME ON MAN!” Sha yelled while trying to duck and cover, the powerful force ripped through the car knocking the Dark sha half way down the block.

She rolled on her spine, finally coming to a stop about 2 blocks down the street; she slowly turned over onto her stomach, using her hands to push herself upwards she rolled over to the left, and then rose from the saturated ground. She hadn’t noticed it before but they had hit a fire hydrant.   Reaching on her utility belt she removed her grapping hook and fires it right down the street towards her foe. The hook grabbed on to a pole high above him. Releasing the button she zip lined down the street to the top of the pole.  Releasing the motion button, the zip dropped her down, to allow her to move while on the wire. She began to swing back and forth while tossing 3 smoke balls out, one near him, the other across the street and the third she threw into a nearby abandoned building. Thanks to the nearby manhole, there was smoke coming from every direction.

She had Keen eyesight when using her her EL, so it locked on to his body heat, however looking through her mask, she realized there was too, however one did not give off an Aura, like the other did.  Taking a settl “s” from her pouch she tossed it at the fake, she was covered by the fog so seeing her would be hard.   She attempted to run up on the real foe, grabb him in a full nelson headlock and then back suplex him behind her head into a parked car.

“Payback b!tch!”

  “AWWW COME ON MAN!" shouted whoever it was that had attacked Winston, who just grinned as he watched the blast knock both the car and his foe rolling down the street, only now did the majority of the pedestrians turn and sprint for their safety, though a few remained, some even taking pictures. The two Winsti mumbled at the flash of photography, their synthetic black suits snaking over their faces to encase their identities, however with this momentary distraction, Sha had managed to fire a grappling hook around the street-light above them and they both stared up at Sha as she swung along it, tossing small objects which burst up puffs of smoke, soon completely blocking their vision with a thick white fog. 
 
Winston heard his dupe yelp and a thump as something smacked it in the head, sending the clone onto its back, "This sh!t better not be poisonous!" Winston yelled out as he stumbled around in the mist, his cannon at the ready, his agitation obvious with his jerking movements. There were footsteps and Winston swung towards them, but only in time to have a pair of arms wrapped around him. He felt his world spin as he was lifted off the ground, the words "Payback B!tch!" ringing in his ears as he was effortlessly smacked onto the concrete road. Pain seared along his back  as he lay on the ground, cringing before he rolled himself out of Sha's grip, rolling himself further onto his feet. Still somewhat dazed, Winston muttered, "Nice one." 
 
The original Winston in this scenario took a step back as out of the mist emerged two more dupes, the other one from earlier having regained his composure and cloned himself, the Winsti glared at Sha, the original aiming his cannon again at her whilst the two unarmed dupes sprinted at her, one running low aiming to falcon punch her in the gut, whilst the other ran along on the other side of him, hoping to clip her in the head as she got to her feet. The cannon fizzled as it prepared to fire another shot, "I hardly think you deserved the payback though, you totally trashed my car, consider this your comeuppance."

 Sha stood in a crouched position ready for what he had coming, the thick fog still present in the local setting, so for this moment she had the upperhand. The damage she had managed to inflict seemed to cause him some minor pain, she could tell from a series of grunts.   Her El picked up a few flashes coming from the sidewalks; the stupid pedestrians were taking pictures, as if this were some sort of sporting spectacle.

“Idiots” Sha said turning her attention to her EL which now read three separate entities; however one had the hand cannon on its arm, which allowed her to pin point the exact location of the original. However she had angry dupes to deal with. “More dupes… I guess!” she said squaring up, shifting to the balls of her feet so she could effectively fight.

Sha was too busy watching the dupe that was coming from the top, and she failed to notice the one streamlining straight for her, it cocked back and punched her dead in the gut, making her whole body becoming an indention to his fist.  The other one managed to hit her in the head knocking her off her feet, but this gave her leverage for a good aerial recovery, doing a back flip using the momentum, she jumped out of their way from further danger.

The jab had knocked more wind out of her then she expected, probably damaging a rib in the process, she rested for a few moments trying to catch her breath; The numbers game was catch up to her she would have to find someone effective way to counter attack them both.

Sha took off full speed running at the one who punched her in the gut, she jumped in the air, planted her hands on his shoulders, front flipped over his body, while still in the flipping motion she attempted to snap her legs back in enough time to kick the dupe. She landed in a crouched position however, she quickly bounced up and aimed a dead on kick at the second dupe’s chin.

Turning her attention back to the original, removing both her grappling hooks, she fired the hook in his direction; however it went past him, she saw that he was about to fire another shot from his cannon; she needed to act quickly. Releasing the pressure, she once again zipped across the street this time going towards him, she shot the second across the street, the zip line when right behind him, she then crossed over so that he was in the middle of the wires.   Releasing the clamp, she zipped back and forth attacking with a series of shoulder blocks. On her last zig zag, she released herself from the zip line and attempted to vault herself until the back of his legs which would make him fall so she could apply a boston crab.

Sha had sprinted at the two clones, flipping herself over the first one and whipping her feet into the back of it's neck, causing his head to jerk with an audible crack before the clone fell to the ground, limp. Sha landed before the second clone and in a split second hopped back up, planting her foot upon this Winston's jaw, flicking him back off the ground for a second before he also collapsed back to the hard cement with a thud. Sha glared at the original Winston through the thick smoke and pulled out a pair of grappling hooks, firing one beyond him and once she'd slid along it, she fired another across the road from him and began to come travel along it as Winston aimed his cannon at her as she came into his view, although before it could charge,  the incredible speed Sha swung at sent her shoulder slamming into Winston as she came by, shoving him out of her way and causing the blast to go off down the street, where it knocked a street sign out of the ground. Still slightly confused as to what just happened, Winston was hit in the back by Sha's shoulder yet again as she zig-zagged back, though when she tried it a third time Winston had gotten wise and sidestepped the blow. 
 
Sha then catapulted herself from her zip-line, flipping over Winston and landing in a crouch, from where she rapidly kicked her right leg out  twice into the back of both Winstons knees, causing him to fall to the ground, from where she pulled him underneath her, hooking his legs under her arms, placing him in a spinal lock. Winston thrashed about despite the pain the position caused, flailing his cannon hand backwards and firing a shot which Sha nimbly moved her head out of the way of, causing the impact of the shot to shatter the window of a second-story apartment block near them. As glass showered over them Winston strained himself, producing a final clone in-front of himself and behind Sha which went to pull her off of the original by her golden hair. 
 
Meanwhile, one of the other dupes, the one who had been kicked in the head, got to his feet and clicked his jaw back in place before running over to his sibling, Sha's kick had severed his spine near his neck and with a glum mutter the Winston absorbed his fallen copy. Still not quite being able to see through the smoke, this Winston eventually stumbled upon a parked car, which he quickly broke open, hardwired with amazing speed and then drove down into the fog, trying to find his own car so as to reload its rather valuable cargo. 
 
As Sha and the other two Winsti continued to struggle, a pair of headlights sped towards them.
