"What do you want to do?" Darkwing asked Bon Bon. "I could go ahead first again and spring the trap, or do you have something else in mind?"
Mark followed Lyra as she followed the stains, but the soon disappeared in the dust and other dirt of the street as it headed into busier sections. Mark looked at the direction they followed it and it looked as if it was leading further away from the museum.

"I guess it can't be helped. If we're going to get to the bottom of this we need to move on, but I'm not continuing defenseless." She said and pulled a candy from her flank and ate it. She stepped foreword, "You ready for anything?" She said looking from the door to Darkwing.
"Where do you think the oil trail should be headed? I don't think it really stops here.' Lyra said looking for anything out of the norm around her.

"Let's get dangerous." Darkwing said in response and readied his gas gun. He nodded at Bon bon and threw open the door. There was nothing but an empty and clean closet behind it matching the rest of the facility, the only thing to be seen was the stains that disappeared underneath the wall in one of the corners. "I don't get it!" Darkwing exclaimed. "This is very strange. It kind of bothers me that there wasn't a trap waiting for us."
"I don't think it ends here either." Mark said. "Looks like the daily use of teh road covered it up. We need a way to follow it, maybe a spell? Something that will let us detect the oil that's still there."

"I don't have long before I must use this spell. Let's find another secret door or something. There has to be something for us to find here, there just has to." Bon Bon said and quickly started darting around the room trying to find anything at all.
"I don't have magic. and I don't want to pull out any weapons in the crowd. What are we going to do? We'll lose the trail at this rate."

Darkwing followed the oil to the wall. "There should be something here. But I don't see any grooves or any secret switches. We need to get through this wall."
Mark stood and thought it over. "Does Bon Bon have any abilities that could help?" He asked as he mentally went through all the spells he knew.
ooc: There is a hidden wall there, but it's nearly impossible to enter and we're going to need a way in.

Bon Bon looked closely at the wall and both tapped and hit it with her hooves to try and get an idea of it's thickness, it felt pretty solid. "Go anything stronger then a gas gun?"
"No, she only has the gravity type magic..." She looked around at the crowd. "Alright, looks like I'll gave to pull my gun." She reached around and pulled out her Crossbow. It looked more like an actual Lyre then usual. She tried to inconspicuously remove the scope and strapped the crossbow to her back. "This should help." She looked through the scope at the oil and twisted the various nobs along it's length to single out the color range of the oil from the dirt.
OOC: Hopefully this works.

ooc: Yeah, that's fine.
"I have my buzz saw cuff links, but they can't cut through walls." Darkwing said. "Sorry, I usually don't carry explosives with me." The thought of keeping explosives around Darkwing Tower where Gosalyn could get her hands on them crossed his mind and suddenly made him winch.
Mark looked genuinely impressed. "Here, let me help out." He said and and used his magic to clean away litter and dirt that may be in Lyra's way.
ooc: The path leads to an abandoned alley, somewhere in between a beeline towards Manehattan Tower.

"I might have a trick but it'll be loud and destructive so I'll hold off until we're truly out of ideas." Bon Bon said, her hair started to float a bit and moved with every movement she or the wind made like it were under water. She ignored the sign and moved to looking around the room for any button to open the door or anything to blow it open with. With the dust gone Lyra didn't have much difficulty finding the correct light spectrum as the splotched as light green appeared on the ground, only really visible through the scope. "Got it!" She exclaimed, "We should be able to follow it the rest of the way now." She said and turned back to the trail and started following it through the crowd with the aid of the scope. OOC: Not sure where this leads so I'll put that on you

ooc: ??? I did post that it leads to an allay, but okay.
Having searched the room as well as outside Darkwing folded his arms. "Nothing! And I don't even think there are anybody here. Why would FOWL abandon one of their secret hideouts like this? Unless they've already completed what they wanted to do. I think you might as well use that trick of yours." Darkwing told Bon Bon.
Mark followed Lyra on a path that seemed to be leading to the Manehattan Tower, but suddenly turned off into an allay that seemed to be deserted. Lyra led them up to a large stack of boxes and Mark looked behind it. "That's terrible." He looked back at Lyra with an even face. "I believe we've just found our victim." Hidden behind the boxes was the body Keen Luck, with blue swollen markings and blood covering the back of his head.

OOC: Just wanted to use this chance to reveal another drawback to Bon Bon's abilities. Lyra's have a cap for how powerful they can be but Bon Bon's is variable to the situation and such so I feel obligated to but more limiters on it to deal with this. Also I thought you meant the olive oil Bon Bon and Darkwing were following lead to an alley of sorts Hopefully I don't jack up that location too bad haha. BIC: Bon Bon gave a sigh, "Alright, hopefully it won't be too strong." she said and almost floated with her steps towards the wall. As she looked at it her mane fell done with a good bit of force and four large cracks appeared on the floor, one under each hoof, as the increase in gravity on Bon Bon's body weighed completely impacted the floor. She winced as she used all her strength to just to hold herself up. she managed to open one eye and focused on the vertical center of the wall above the olive oil stains. In an instant all the gravity weighing on her flashed over to the center of the wall. a point where she was looking cracked and then a 3 foot radius around that point all compressed inward towards the center. a desk and cabinet also got sucked in and the force was great enough to compress all the material into a rock only a foot in diameter, which fell to the ground with a loud thud. A section of the ceiling, floor, and surrounding wall were gone revealing a hallway. there was no dust as even that got sucked up into the gravity singularity. Bon Bon fell to one knee as she caught her breath, "Way to close... I think I cut that way to close." She said panting heavily. Lyra also looked behind the boxes, "I know we should call the cops but I think a preliminary look at this body would help our investigation better then waiting for word back from them." Lyra said, also with a straight face. She scooted some of the boxes to block them from the view of the ponies walking along the street a ways away.

Darkwing looked impressed. "Wow! That's the first time I've seen something like that. Are you alright?" He asked her as he looked into the hallway.
"I agree." Mark said. "But finding everything we need to know without being able to do an autopsy is going to be hard. Can you call Raceshoe and give him the news while I take samples and examine the body? Even if he's off the case all the forensic evidence goes through his department and he may still be able to help."

"Yeah, my body is kind of a conduit for gravitational energy. like how a lightning rod attracts electricity. However, even lightning rods can only get struck by so much voltage before they burn." She said taking one last slow deep breath and standing up again. "I should be fine now. Let's continue." She said regaining her composure and starting down the hallway.
"Sure." Lyra started to write out a letter on a piece of paper. "Raceshoe has a window office right?" She saked putting the finishing touches on the letter.

Darkwing led the way down the hallway until they came to a small room with a monitor. There was blueprints of the museum on a table and in a corner stood washing powder, a bucket stained with blood to the top and a mop with a small bit of blood on it. "I don't think they wanted us to find this room." Darkwing thought out loud.
"Yes he does." Mark said as he examined the body, lifting it gently with his magic and examining the wounds.

"I knew that blood was planted. But how did they bleed Keen and plant that blood so quickly. I wish we had the body to examine, it would simplify this." Bon Bon said looking over the mop and bucket. "Where's the blueprint from? Did somepony make it or was it from the museum itself?"
"Good." Lyra said fastening the letter to an arrow and fired it straight up into the air at alarming speed, when it reached it's pinnacle it made a hard right turn and flew in the direction of Raceshoes office.
The arrow blasted through the window and embedded itself deep into his desk, barley missing Raceshoe himself.

"Seems like an official blueprint." Darkwing said going over it. "There's arrows leading to and from the room with the diamond to the exits and the monitor room where Keen was suppose to be. There are also times recorded here, looks like a timetable of when and where the guards are when they're patrolling."
Raceshoe almost fell off his chair when the letter hit his desk. He gave a sigh of relief and took his hoof off the gun in his drawer. He took the letter and read it. When he finished he jumped up and hurried out of his office and gathered his best team to follow him to Mark and Lyra.
Still continuing his examination Mark looked up at Lyra. His usual easy smile was gone and replaced by a look that was between worry and confusion. "You are not going to like my diagnosis of our friend here." He told her.
The police chief picked up his phone. "Put an APB out on the vigilante Deadpool. Bring him in for questioning, if he resists call me immediately, I'll deal with him personally." He hang up the phone with a smile.

"So there's a high chance that someone from the museum security was helping the robber. It might have even been Keen luck who thought he could get a cut of the deal before he was thrown aside and used as a means to frame Berry. Nopony from the security said anything about missing patrol schedules. While it might be coincidence it could also be something they were trying to cover up." Bon Bon said just throwing ideas on the table as she looked over the map.
Lyra looked over to Mark, "Let me guess, it's something outrageous right? Like, he still has a body full of blood, there are no wounds from which they could have bled him dry and he is out of blood... or even more outrageous, this isn't actually Keen Luck?" She said sarcastically then looked over the boxes a bit to keep a look out.
From the moment Deadpool jumped out the window, he simple flew threw the lower window so as not to be seen. He made his way upstairs to the roof where he locked the door manually (i.e. he broke the nob) and pulled out his sniper rifle with a more powerful scope attached then usual. He used it to watch Bon Bon and Lyra from the roof of the office. He was able to keep track of Bon Bon until she escaped behind the washing machines and could see Lyra peaking over the boxes. With how she looked straight at him for an instance Deadpool could swear she was watching him too.

"All very possible." Darkwing said. "Leaving us with more suspects. The question is: Are we getting nearer to solving the crime or further away?" He walked up to the mop and examined it. "This must be what they used to clean up the real crime scene before planting the blood."
"Yes, no and yes." Mark answered Lyra, now looking more amused than anything at her deductions. "I guess you run into these kind of cases often." He turned back to the body. "With what I've seen of the video the markings on the back of his head does look like the ones that would have been inflicted there, he still has blood inside of him and this isn't a pony, it's a machine. A robot or cyborg or whatever it is you would call it."
ooc: I'll let you decide how, if and when the police find Deadpool.

OOC: I figured you would have the cops come busting through the door with guns drawn to apprehend him. That's why I told you where he was. Right now he's not really doing anything.
BIC: "We might not be getting closer to solving the crime but we're getting closer to getting closer and that's progress to me." Bon Bon said and started looking around the room, "See anything else of use to us?"
"Is it half pony or all machine?" Lyra asked coming closer to investigate the body.

"Nothing." Darkwing said. "We should probably take these things with us." He pointed to the bucket, mop and blueprints.
"It seems to be all machine." mark said. "I can't sense any organs or any living tissue accept for the skin. But there is blood in it, it's not going through arteries or pipes or anything, more like it's just being kept there. I can't fathom why though. This is really not up my alley."
There was a knock at the door of the room Deadpool was in. "We know you're in their Deadpool!" A police officer shouted. "We've been ordered to bring you in for questioning! Come out quietly with your hands where we can see them!"

Bon Bon nodded and put the blueprints in her bag. She then looked at the bucket with blood stained covering it, "1! 2! 3! MOP!" She yelled out and grabbed the mop, running out the room and leaving the bloody bucket for Darkwing.
"Perhaps this thing has the technology to make blood? That would explain why there was a ponies worth in blood at the crime scene and still a ponies worth in blood here. And with only the skin holding it back it makes sense that any damage to the balloon would drastically spill it's contents.
Deadpool walked up to the door pushed it open a little bit and jumped back.

Darkwing looked confused towards the door and then back at the bucket and then at the door. "I believe that pony just tricked me." he said picking up the bucket and going after Bon Bon.
"Make blood? And the exact blood of another pony so it could match the DNA?" Mark asked confused. "That's impossible and why do that?" A wagon pulled by three ponies stopped at the entrance of the alley. One of the ponies was Raceshoe and he came up to meet the detective and doctor. "What have you found?" He asked.
A hoof pushed the door open. "Are you coming quietly?" The Police officer asked between a dozen others, pointing their guns at him. He sounded nervous.

Bon Bon had made it to the elevator and leaned the mop against the wall, waiting for Darkwing so they could go back up. "A lot of things are impossible with only magic or technology but put those two together and you've got a beyond potent mix." She said and turned to Raceshoe who had just shown up, "I see you got my letter." Deadpool was standing away from the door and pulled his gun, "YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!!!" he shot himself in the head and fell over. OOC: I've always wanted to use that line

Darkwing came up to Bon Bon. "I've got the bucket, ready to go?"
"Yes." Raceshoe said with a gulp. "You have quite the aim." Mark greeted Raceshoe and told him about what they found. "We could really use your help on this." Mark told him. "You'll be able to tell us much more about this thing then I can." "I don't know how much I can help." Race told them. "But I'll try my best."
"Quickly!" The police pony said shaking. "Get the Chief over here right away!" One of the officers ran off to fetch the Chief.

With them both on the elevator Bon Bon pushed the lever and they started to go back up. (you should take over these two from here as I don't know what to do once we reach the top.)
Lyra took a step back to let the guys work, this wasn't her area of expertise.

ooc: We're just going back to their office for now to short out clues, things will pick up after that.
Darkwing and Bon Bon went to the spot where the where to meet Lyra and Dr Sloan.
Raceshoe and his team gathered up the body and loaded it into the wagon, covered up so nopony could see. "I'll get in touch with you." He told the two and headed off. "We should probably start getting back." Mark told Lyra.
The Chief came up to the room and walked inside, he looked down at Deadpool. "Everybody get out of the room!" He ordered and closed the door. He walked back to Deadpool and took out a little flask with which he scooped up some of Deadpool's blood. "Well Mr Deadpool, I'm glad that you're so willing to play with us." The Chief said with a smile as he looked at the flask.

Lyra nodded and started out the alley way, her crossbow was now put away. "Thanks again." she said to the ponies as they left. "Well, let's tell Bon Bon and Darkwing of our progress." she started towards the promised meeting place."

Post by Bio Plus on Aug 21, 2013 5:24:08 GMT -5
The chief put the flask in his pocket and took out a postcard with the Manehattan Tower on it. He stuck it to Deadpool's chest. "If you want to play some more, come visit us." He turned around and left, closing the door again behind him and shouting orders. "Seal off the area and get a forensics team up here to take the body to the morgue!"
ooc: I'm going to skip to the office. Is Deadppool going to stay that way?
After meeting up the group headed for the office. Mark and Darkwing was examining the blood from the mop as they exchanged information. "I don't know any villains that would use blood like this." Darkwing said. "FOWL did once try to use dark forces to take over the world, but this? I'm not sure. Magica DeSpell is a dark force, but not the kind of magician to get power from blood. Negaduck? Not his MO." Darkwing went through the villains he knew, trying to make a connection. "Now that we know we're dealing with mechanical copies of some short, where does this leave us?" Mark asked.

OOC: I was waiting on the Chief to leave. Your last post had him still standing in the room with Deadpool. He's been faking dead since at least until the chief showed up. Depending on what the chief was going to do with his body would determine my next post and I had a lot of angles covered.
BIC: Having been left in the room alone and his brain having been repaired since shortly after shooting himself, he left the hold in the side of his head so he looked dead and lied motionless. Eventually he got up and started dusting himself off. He fixed himself up all the way and looked at his reflection in the glass of the door leading outside. "Darn, I liked this outfit. I'll have to mail it to that pony and have her fix it up... maybe make me a couple more too." He said looking at his bloody appearance once again. He grabbed the postcard and slipped it into his cloths, getting a little bit of blood on it, and started jumping from roof top to roof top making his way over to the office.
At the office Bon Bon and Lyra were trying to piece together something to work with, "Is it possible we're just being led around to a bunch of pointless clues that are keeping us from keeping a good enough pace to actually catch the culprit in time? I know some of this stuff is valid evidence but how do we tell what's important?" Bon Bon asked, still confused and not getting anywhere at the moment.

"You've been getting that feeling too?" Mark asked Bon Bon. "But I think the robot and the secret room in the FOWL hideout wasn't part of that. I've looked at the blood on the mop and although I can't say if it belongs to Keen Luck without testing the DNA I have found something else mixed together with the blood. Do you want to guess what that is?" Mark asked Lyra, having been impressed with her previous guesses.
