Burst: "Did we do it? Did we win?"
Burst stood in the rubble of what used to be a building, the now prior headquarters of a local gang.
Firefly:" Yeah, we totally did it. They are completely done for. I can't believe it, you completely leveled that entire building back there."
Firefly, who was observing the action from a safe distance, was now taking to Burst on the phone.
Burst:" That'll show them not to mess with us! I'm getting more powerful by the day!"
Burst raises an arm to inspect the blue glowing energy of force pulsing through the veins.
Suddenly a vehicle that appeares to be a completely white ambulance stops in front of Burst.
A group of three masked individuals in some kind of white uniform exit the back of the ambulance and quickly have Burst surrounded, two of them were armed with modified Fn P90s, aimed straight at their target.
The third unarmed member of the group, who was wearing more of a coat, still in the same style of the uniform as the others, clearly higher ranking in whatever organization they belong to than the other two.
???: "Funtime's over, kiddo. You are hereby under arrest."
Burst:"Firefly, I'll have to dip. Here are some punks that seem to want to get some. We'll catch up later at our spot tonight."
Burst ends the call before Firefly has the opportunity to reply and puts away his phone. Now focusing on the leader of the attackers.
Burst:"You want to arrest me? Good luck with that!"
Burst raises both arms, ready to fight, the blue energy flaring up. After that short display, Burst rushes towards the leader of the group.
???:"Luck won't be needed"
With a quick unassuming gesture the mysterious person removes his mask to reveal his rather pretty face. The Irises of his eyes glowing with a snow white shimmer as he intensively focuses his sight on Burst.
???:"Indivials like you are my specialty"
To the surprise of the now unmasked individual, Burst suddenly begins to scream in horrible pain, feeling like every single bodypart was being ripped apart from the inside. The blue glow was almost completely gone as Burst collapses to the ground, barely able to maintain consciousness through the pain.
Burst:"Who.. the fuck... are.. you..?"
The mysterious person kneels down next to Burst, not breaking eye contact for even a second.
???:"You can call me ZERO. I'm sure we'll have a lot of time to get to know each other."
As ZERO got up he gives a signal to his companions and they pick up the struggling Burst before carrying and restraining Burst on the stretcher in the back of the ambulance.
Burst tries to fight them off but remains unsuccessful as the pain was just too debilitating and Bursts powers just didn't want to work for some reason.
ZERO:"I want to clarify that the agony you're in currently isn't my intention. I honestly don't know what is causing it. It is certainly not caused by me directly. This should help for now."
ZERO grabbs an oxygen mask and places it firmly on Bursts face.
Burst didn't really react to ZERO, it wasn't really clear if Burst was paying any attention to anything other than the pain.
ZERO proceeds to open a valve on a small gas cannister that was connected to the oxygen mask with a tube.
ZERO:"Try to relax, deep breaths!"
Burst follows the commands given without thinking about it much at this point, breathing in the sedative gas and slowly drifting away into unconsciousness.
ZERO:"Just like that! Good kid!"
